Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Formstack, LiveChat, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Formstack and LiveChat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Formstack and LiveChat (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Formstack and LiveChat
Formstack + LiveChat + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, a new chat is initiated in LiveChat to engage with the submitter, and a summary of the submission is sent to a designated Slack channel for immediate internal review and follow-up.
LiveChat + Formstack + Google Sheets: When a LiveChat conversation ends, a summary row detailing the interaction is added to a Google Sheet for record-keeping and analysis. Additionally, a follow-up task is created in Formstack to ensure proper handling of any outstanding issues or requests identified during the chat.
