Autopilot integration can detect that you have tagged a chat with your customer. And not just any tag: LiveChat will trigger the integration only when it will recognise a tag specified in Autopilot.

How to specify a tag on Autopilot? We’ll get to that in the Installation part of this tutorial.

After tagging a chat with your customer, LiveChat will automatically add him as a Contact to your Journey in Autopilot, sending him an automatic follow up based on your Journey settings. What’s more, you can pre-define to which Journey your new Contact should travel.

In addition to concurrent chats, you can tag your archived conversations as well! To do that, go to the LiveChat’s Archives, choose an archived chat and tag it.

The installation consists of three steps:

  • Linking LiveChat account with Autopilot;

Now that the integration is ready, you need to decide which fields from your pre and post-chat surveys will be assigned to corresponding fields at Autopilot.

That allows you to equip each new contact added to your Journey with information gathered from your chat surveys.

  1. Once LiveChat is connected with Autopilot, click on Field Mappings.
