In the workspace, click the โCreate New Scenarioโ button.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring LiveChat, Google Groups, and any additional nodes, donโt 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 โRun onceโ and triggering an event to check if the LiveChat and Google Groups integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between LiveChat and Google Groups (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect LiveChat and Google Groups
LiveChat + Google Groups + Slack: When a LiveChat chat is deactivated, the transcript is posted to a Google Group for archival purposes. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel informing the team of the new transcript and providing a link.
Google Groups + Google Sheets + LiveChat: When a new post is added to a Google Group, the details of the post are logged in a Google Sheet. This action can then trigger a proactive LiveChat with users who may be interested in the post's topic.
