DIRSCHL Contact FABs
Displays up to five floating contact buttons at the bottom of the screen (phone, email, WhatsApp, contact page, appointments). Targets can be set per URL path via JSON mappings.
Click Log: Every FAB click is optionally logged – with KPIs, diagrams, and a table in the Log tab. Optionally, a link opens the visitor in Matomo (deep-link from browser cookie only, no API, no Matomo data in WordPress).
What you see in the Log
- Clicks per day and by action (phone, email, WhatsApp, …)
- Page path and mapping label at the time of the click
- Recognition via anonymous visitor ID (localStorage)
- Matomo visitor ID from cookie – Link "Open in Matomo"

Click Log & Matomo – Advantages
Phone and email clicks are intentions, not confirmed leads – yet valuable for marketing and UX:
- Which action is used? (Call vs. WhatsApp vs. Contact page)
- Which areas of the site? (Path + mapping label in the log)
- Trends over days/weeks (diagrams in the Log tab)
- Returning visitors – anonymous ID in localStorage (no cookie banner needed for this ID alone)
Matomo Integration (optional)
If Matomo (e.g., via Connect Matomo / WP-Piwik) is running, the plugin reads the visitor ID from the _pk_id.* cookie and offers "Open in Matomo" in the log table. Advantage: from the FAB click directly to the visitor history in Matomo – without Matomo API, without storing Matomo data in WordPress.
URL and Site ID are suggested from Connect Matomo or set manually. Retention of log entries is configurable (default 90 days).
