Before You Start

What you'll need on hand.

๐Ÿงพ

An Active JacAI Product

Legal AI, JacAI SMM, or both โ€” the platform connects to products you already have running.

๐ŸŒ

A WordPress Site (optional)

Needed only if you're using one of the two free WordPress plugins.

โšก

A Zapier Account (optional)

Needed only if you want product actions to trigger Zaps.

Step by Step

How a product connects to the backbone.

Understand the four-step pattern

Every JacAI product follows the same flow: a product action happens, the platform backbone picks it up, a connected WordPress plugin or Zapier hook fires, and the JacAI Assistant bot confirms the result. Learning this once means you understand how every current and future JacAI product behaves.

Choose your connection points

Decide what you actually need connected โ€” a WordPress site for publishing, a Zapier account for downstream automation, or both. Nothing here is required to use a JacAI product on its own; the backbone is what you add when you want it to reach further.

Install the plugin that matches your product

JacAI AutoPoster connects JacAI SMM's content to WordPress. JacAI Portal Connect embeds the Legal AI case portal on a WordPress site. Both are free and install the same way โ€” Plugins โ†’ Add New in your WordPress admin.

Wire up Zapier once

Create a Zap with a webhook trigger, copy the webhook URL, and paste it into the Zapier integration settings for your product. From that point on, any "Send to Zapier" action in that product fires the same Zap.

One webhook can power a Zap with as many steps as your plan allows โ€” this is exactly how the 25-step production Zap is built.

Let the JacAI Assistant bot guide you

The Assistant bot appears across every product to answer "how do I..." questions in context and link straight to the right how-to guide โ€” you don't have to leave what you're doing to look something up.

Add the next product without starting over

Because every product shares the same backbone, adding a second JacAI product to a site you've already connected doesn't mean reconnecting WordPress or Zapier from scratch โ€” it plugs into what's already wired up.

Common Questions

Quick answers before you dive in.

Do I need the platform to use a single product?

No โ€” Legal AI and JacAI SMM both work standalone. The platform is what connects them to WordPress, Zapier, and each other.

Can I use just one WordPress plugin?

Yes โ€” install only the plugin that matches the product you're using.

Is the Assistant bot a separate product?

No โ€” it's a feature embedded across every JacAI product, not something you install or manage separately.

What if I add a new JacAI product later?

It connects through the same backbone, so your existing WordPress and Zapier connections carry over.
