How to connect Gmail and LiveChat
Create a New Scenario to Connect Gmail 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 Gmail, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Gmail or LiveChat will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Gmail or LiveChat, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Gmail, 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 Gmail and LiveChat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Gmail 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 Gmail and LiveChat
LiveChat + Gmail + Google Sheets: When a LiveChat transcript is deactivated, the details of the conversation and the customer's email (if provided) are extracted. If a corresponding email thread exists in Gmail, the conversation details are appended to a Google Sheet for record-keeping.
LiveChat + Gmail + Slack: When a new LiveChat conversation starts, a summary of the conversation is sent to a specified Gmail address. A notification, including key details from the LiveChat, is also sent to a designated Slack channel.
