Murmur: your client taps the spot on the WordPress page and says what to change

What it is.

If you build WordPress sites for other people, you know how feedback arrives: a screenshot, a phone call, "the thing on the left". Murmur puts the feedback on the page itself.

You make a link to a page. Your client opens it on a phone or a computer, with no login and no account. A small bar sits at the bottom of the page. They press it, tap the spot they mean, and type or say what should change.

How it goes.

• You make the link. In your dashboard, under Murmur, or by asking your AI: "share the About page for review until Friday". A link lasts 14 days unless you say otherwise, from 1 to 90.
• Your client leaves notes. Each note is pinned to its spot. The note knows what it is on: the picture, the button, the heading, the text.
• The notes come to you. In your dashboard, and by email: the first note on a link right away, then one email an hour at most.
• Your AI makes the change. One press sends a note to Respira AER, or copies a prompt for Claude or ChatGPT. The change is made on a copy of the page. Nothing goes live until you approve it, and your client sees the note marked done.

New: a link your client keeps.

A review link is for work in progress and ends on a date. Since plugin 9.1.16 there is a second kind: a request link. It covers the whole live site and stays open until you turn it off.

Your client keeps it and opens it whenever something should change: a price, an opening hour, a photo. The bar says "request a change". The request reaches you the same way a note does, and nothing on the site changes until you or your AI make the change and you approve it.

What your client can and cannot do.

• They can read the pages in the link and leave plain-text notes, with an email address if they want a reply.
• They cannot edit anything, see other pages, or upload files.
• You can turn a link off at any time, and it stops with the next request.
• On a white-label plan the bar carries your studio name, not Respira.

Where to find it.

Murmur is part of the Builder plan and up, at no extra cost. It needs plugin 8.9.0 or later, and 9.1.16 for request links. In your dashboard it is the page called Murmur: feedback links.

The Murmur page has the details, the documentation has the steps, and the story of how it began with one agency owner is on the blog.

One small favour: Respira is on DevHunt this week.

DevHunt is a directory where developers find new tools, and Respira for WordPress is listed there until Monday 12 October. A newcomer reads the comments first, and the ones that count come from people who use the product.

If you have two minutes, have a look at the listing and leave a comment about what you use Respira for. One honest sentence is plenty. It helps the next person decide, and it helps me a great deal.
