ClientPin – Pin Client Feedback & Get Page Approval

توضیحات

ClientPin turns “can you move that logo?” emails into pinned, trackable, approvable feedback — directly on the live WordPress site.

Built for agencies and freelancers: send your client a secure review link (no account needed), they click anywhere on the page to leave a comment, and when they’re happy they press Approve — creating a permanent approval record with name, timestamp, and IP. No more “but I never approved this.”

Your data never leaves your server. No SaaS subscription, no per-seat fees, no proxy rendering that breaks your site.

Why ClientPin

• Page approval, recorded. Clients approve pages (or request changes) with one click. Every decision is logged with approver identity, note, timestamp, and IP — and you can print a branded Approval Certificate per feedback round.
• Figma-style visual comments. Clients click any element to drop a numbered pin, write feedback, and attach inspiration images. Pins are anchored to DOM elements and reposition responsively.
• Automatic viewport screenshots. Every comment captures what the client actually saw, stored in your Media Library.
• No client accounts. Secure, expiring, revocable review links bypass the WordPress login.
• Team workflow. Assign comments to teammates, track Todo / In Progress / Done, reply in threads, and work in versioned feedback rounds.
• Email notifications. Assignment, status, reply, and approval alerts via wp_mail() — fully toggleable, with extra recipient support.
• Admin dashboard. Project health tiles, activity feed, feedback manager with filters and bulk actions, approval log, and review-link manager.

Perfect for

• Agencies collecting feedback on staging sites
• Freelancers who need documented client approval before invoicing
• Teams tired of feedback scattered across email, Slack, and calls

Third-Party Libraries

This plugin bundles html2canvas v1.4.1 (MIT license) to capture the viewport screenshot attached to each comment. The screenshot is rendered entirely in the visitor’s browser; no page content is sent anywhere except to your own WordPress site. Both the minified build (assets/js/vendor/html2canvas.min.js) and the unminified source (assets/js/vendor/html2canvas.js) are included.

External Services

This plugin does not contact any external service. It sends no data anywhere: no licensing checks, no update pings, no analytics, no usage tracking. All feedback, screenshots, and approval records are created and stored on your own server.

The one exception is entirely under your control and off by default: if you enter a Slack Incoming Webhook URL or a generic webhook URL (Zapier, Make, or your own endpoint) in ClientPin → Settings, feedback events are sent to the endpoint you chose. Nothing is transmitted unless you enter a URL yourself. What is sent: the event type, comment or approval text, the reporter/approver name, and the page URL. Because you choose the destination, refer to the terms of whichever service you point the webhook at — for example Slack’s Privacy Policy.

Privacy

ClientPin stores the following data in custom database tables on your own server:

• Feedback comments: the comment text, the page URL, the position of the pin, an optional reporter email address, and screenshots the reviewer captured or uploaded (stored in your Media Library).
• Approvals: the approver’s name, an optional email address and note, the page URL, a UTC timestamp, and — as the audit trail that gives an approval its legal weight — the reviewer’s IP address and browser user agent.
• Review links: the access token, an optional description, and the expiry date.

Because approval records deliberately capture IP addresses, you should tell your clients that their approval is being logged. All of this data is deleted when you uninstall the plugin, unless you enable “Keep data on uninstall” in ClientPin → Settings.
