wordpress/Getting Started

Getting Started

Connect your WordPress site to Intufind's cloud services to enable semantic search, AI chat, and intelligent recommendations.

Getting Your API Key

  1. Create an account at intufind.com (no credit card required)
  2. Start your 14-day free trial
  3. After signup, your API key will be displayed — copy it immediately

Your secret API key starts with if_sk_ and is shown only once. Store it securely.

⚠️
Keep your API key secure
Your secret key provides full access to your Intufind workspace. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.

Connecting Your Site

  1. Go to Intufind → Settings in your WordPress admin
  2. Paste your API key into the Secret Key field
  3. Click Connect

Connection Options

When connecting, you can choose to:

  • Create a new workspace — Start fresh with a new AI knowledge base
  • Use an existing workspace — Connect to a workspace you've already created

Most users should create a new workspace for each WordPress site.

What Happens on Connect

When you successfully connect:

  1. Your site is registered with Intufind
  2. Secure keys are generated for your widgets
  3. The chat widget becomes available on your frontend

Workspace Management

Switching Workspaces

If you have multiple workspaces, you can switch between them:

  1. Go to Intufind → Settings
  2. Click Switch Workspace
  3. Select the desired workspace from the dropdown
  4. Click Switch

Disconnecting

To disconnect your site:

  1. Go to Intufind → Settings
  2. Click Disconnect
  3. Confirm the action
⚠️
Disconnecting deletes all data
Disconnecting permanently deletes all your data from Intufind including indexed content, chat configuration, prompts, and styling. All local plugin settings will also be removed. This action cannot be undone. If you just need to change your API key, use the "Change" button instead.

Initial Content Sync

After connecting, sync your content to build the AI knowledge base:

  1. Go to Intufind → Knowledge
  2. Select which post types to include (Posts, Pages, Products, etc.)
  3. Click Sync Now

The initial sync may take several minutes depending on your content volume. You can monitor progress on the Status page.

Verify Your Setup

After connecting and syncing, verify everything is working:

Check the Status Page

Go to Intufind → Status to see:

  • ✓ API Connection — Connected to Intufind servers
  • ✓ Workspace — Active workspace name
  • ✓ Indexed Content — Number of documents in your knowledge base

Test the Chat Widget

  1. Visit your website's frontend (not wp-admin)
  2. Look for the chat widget (usually bottom-right corner)
  3. Ask a question about your content

If the chat widget doesn't appear, check that it's enabled in Intufind → Chat.

Test Search

  1. Use any search form on your site
  2. Try a natural language query like "products for outdoor activities"
  3. Results should show semantically relevant content
