📖 Complete Instructions & Documentation
To unlock the full potential of V3, you need to connect the plugin to your Bubble Database. Here is the ultimate guide to setting up Chat History.

🗄️ 1. Database & Custom State Setup
Create a Data Type in Bubble called Chat with fields: Title (Text), Preview (Text), and History (Text).

On your page, create a Custom State called Current_Chat (Type: Chat). This will act as the brain, telling Bubble which conversation the user is currently looking at.

In the PlugBrain element properties, set saved_history to: Your Page's Current_Chat's History.

The Workflows (How to Save & Load)
Scenario A: User opens an Old Chat

Event: A PlugBrain AI Old Chat Opened

Action: Set State -> Current_Chat = Do a search for Chats (Unique ID = This PlugBrain AI's selected_chat_id) :first item.
(The plugin will instantly read the new History and draw the chat!)

Scenario B: User clicks New Chat

Event: A PlugBrain AI New Chat Requested

Action: Set State -> Current_Chat = (leave value empty).

Scenario C: User Sends a Message

Event: A PlugBrain AI Message Sent

Step 1 (If New Chat): Only when Current_Chat is empty -> Create a new Chat (Preview = latest_user_message). Then, Set State Current_Chat to the Result of Step 1.

Step 2 (The AI): Run the Chat (With Memory) Server Action. Pass Current_Chat's History and latest_user_message.

Step 3 (Save): Make changes to a thing -> Current_Chat. Update the History field with the JSON output from Step 2, and update the Preview.


How to configure the new Welcome Center & Content Hub:

1. Personalizing the Home View:
In your plugin's property editor, fill in the new fields:
- "User First Name": Insert the current user's name (e.g., Current User's Name). Defaults to "Visitor" if left empty.
- "Greeting Message": Insert your brand's tagline (e.g., "How can we help you today?").

2. Setting up the Content Hub (Categories & Articles):
You can display up to two sections on the Home view (e.g., Changelog and FAQs).
- Provide a title for the section in "Category 1 Title".
- Feed a "List of Texts" into "List 1 Titles" and "List 1 Descriptions".
*Note: If you leave the lists empty, the widget will automatically hide the category sections to keep your UI clean.*

3. Handling Content Clicks:
When a user clicks on one of your articles/updates in the Home view, the widget fires the "Item Clicked" event.
- Create a new Workflow: "When PlugBrain AI's Item Clicked..."
- Use the exposed states (Clicked Item Title & Clicked Item Description) to show a Bubble popup, open an external URL, or scroll to a specific group on your page!
