How to connect Freshdesk and LiveChat
Create a New Scenario to Connect Freshdesk and LiveChat
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Freshdesk, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Freshdesk or LiveChat will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Freshdesk or LiveChat, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Freshdesk Node
Select the Freshdesk node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Freshdesk, 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 Freshdesk and LiveChat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Freshdesk 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 Freshdesk and LiveChat
LiveChat + Freshdesk + Slack: When a chat is deactivated in LiveChat, and if it's unresolved, a ticket is created in Freshdesk. Then, a message is sent to a Slack channel to notify the support team about the new ticket.
LiveChat + Freshdesk + Gmail: When a chat is deactivated in LiveChat, find the corresponding ticket in Freshdesk by ID. Then, send a summary of the resolved Freshdesk ticket to the customer via Gmail.
