SleekView Charts for Zendesk Chat: chat widget reporting in WP
The Zendesk Chat plugin stores the account key and embed rules in wp_options under zendesk_chat_settings, and webhook-driven setups sync ended chats into a zendesk_chat CPT with agent, department, visitor, and duration as postmeta. SleekView Charts groups all of that into one WP dashboard.

Zendesk Chat data charted next to the WordPress site
The Zendesk Chat plugin (formerly Zopim) injects the chat widget on every WordPress page that matches its targeting rules. Settings, the account key, departments, and visitor pre-chat form fields live in wp_options under the zendesk_chat_settings key. The actual chats live in the Zendesk dashboard, and the WP admin offers a connect screen rather than a reporting view.
SleekView Charts reads what the WordPress side keeps locally plus any data a Zendesk webhook lands in WP. Production setups configure the Zendesk chat.ended webhook into a zendesk_chat custom post type with agent, department, visitor email, duration, rating, and page URL saved as postmeta. SleekView picks up that CPT and renders chart cards: chats per agent, department mix as a donut, daily volume from post_date, and average rating as a number KPI.
The dashboard layers in page-level analysis too. Because the webhook stores the page URL in zendesk_page postmeta, SleekView ranks the pages that drove the most chats this week. Joined to wp_posts, that bar resolves URLs to post titles for marketing leads, and the same chart can be filtered to product, blog, or pricing posts to compare conversion intent across sections of the site. WordPress capabilities apply identically to charts and the underlying SleekView table view.

Comparison
Default Zendesk Chat dashboard vs SleekView for WordPress
Default Zendesk Chat dashboard
- Reports live in Zendesk, not next to the WP embed and rules
- No native join from chats to wp_posts or wp_users
- Custom WordPress CPT from webhooks has no chart layer
- Pre-chat form responses need an export to reach a chart
- Switching tabs between Zendesk and wp-admin breaks support flow
SleekView Charts
- Chart zendesk_chat CPT by agent, department, rating, or duration
- Plot chats by post_date as a daily or weekly area chart
- Average rating KPI from zendesk_rating postmeta
- Top-pages bar from zendesk_page postmeta joined to wp_posts
- WordPress capabilities applied identically to charts and tables
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Zendesk Chat Widget
Rating KPI
Average of zendesk_rating postmeta on rated chats. The same satisfaction number Zendesk surfaces in its own dashboard, visible in WordPress alongside the WP user data and pages that drove the chats.
Agent workload
Horizontal bar of zendesk_agent postmeta across ended chats. Surfaces overloaded agents against team capacity and feeds the rebalance call to Zendesk routing rules before SLAs slip into red.
Top pages by chats
Bar ranking pages by chat count, joining zendesk_page postmeta to wp_posts.ID and resolving to post_title. Marketing sees the pages driving the most chats and can adjust placement or rules.
Audience
Who builds Zendesk Chat dashboards with SleekView
Support leads
Today's chats KPI, agent workload bar, and rating average. Three cards summarize the morning queue without leaving WordPress for the Zendesk dashboard tab.
Marketing
Top-pages bar joined to wp_posts. Spot which content drives the most chats and which posts trigger zero engagement, then adjust embed rules in zendesk_chat_settings the same morning.
Operations
Daily chat volume against agent hours. The area chart surfaces capacity issues a week before SLAs slip and staffing decisions land in time to prevent the queue burning out.
The bigger picture
Why Zendesk Chat needs a WP-side dashboard
Zendesk owns chats, but WordPress owns the pages the visitor was on, the WP user account behind a logged-in chatter, the subscription tier, and the embed rules that decide where the widget appears. Asking which marketing page drove the most chats this week, which paid tier opened the most billing inquiries, or which rule change shifted chat volume needs both sides in one chart. The default Zendesk dashboard knows none of that WP context, and pivoting between two tools every time a question lands slows the answer.
SleekView Charts gives Zendesk that layer using the same WordPress dataset Zendesk integrates against. The zendesk_chat CPT and zendesk_chat_settings option become first-class chart sources alongside any other dataset on the site. Agent load, department mix, rating, and per-page volume all sit in the same admin as the WP posts and users that drove them.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Zendesk Chat Widget
The plugin stores the account key and embed settings in wp_options under zendesk_chat_settings. Chats themselves live in Zendesk. Most production setups wire the Zendesk chat.ended webhook into a custom zendesk_chat post type so the WP side has the chart-ready data SleekView needs.
 Without the webhook, the WP side only stores embed settings and identify rules. Charts are limited to coverage of the widget across wp_posts. For agent, department, rating, and duration cards, configure the chat.ended webhook to POST into the zendesk_chat CPT first.
 The webhook saves pre-chat form responses as postmeta on each zendesk_chat post. Any select-style field becomes a groupBy dimension for a donut and any numeric field becomes a sum or average aggregation, so reason mix and visitor segment charts come from the same dataset.
 Yes. SleekView honors WordPress capabilities for the zendesk_chat post type. An agent role sees their own chats while a support lead sees the full team's. The capability filter applies identically to chart cards and the underlying SleekView table view of the same dataset.
 Yes. The webhook saves the originating page URL as zendesk_page postmeta. SleekView joins that to wp_posts.ID via slug or URL match and renders a top-pages bar resolved to post_title, useful for marketing and content teams reviewing widget placement and intent.
 Charts run aggregate queries on view load. Open the dashboard and the numbers reflect the current state of zendesk_chat including any webhook posts written up to that moment. There is no caching layer to refresh and no scheduled job that lags behind the live queue.
 Yes. Clicking a slice or bar opens the SleekView table with the same filter applied. From the agent bar with the lowest rating, one click lands on the exact list of zendesk_chat posts that drove the average, each with the transcript link one further click away.
 Charts query zendesk_chat using the same indexes WordPress maintains for post-type and postmeta lookups. On sites with tens of thousands of chats archived, dashboards load in well under a second from the admin context with no extra database tuning required.
