Send support connect button to chat user for handoff

Automatically catch inbound webhook events across Webhooks by Zapier so you can deliver in-chat connect button messages for handoff support. Create and update when user needs live support, support flag matches, or a handoff request arrives—so you can post conversation API messages, route to live sessions, and reuse button URLs without manual link sharing.

How this automation accelerates your support handoffs

When inbound webhook payloads arrive, manual link sharing slows agent response times and frustrates users. This automation catches webhook events, filters for qualifying handoff signals, and posts a connect-button message through your conversation endpoint—so your team can move users into live support faster.

  1. 1.Detect inbound webhook hook

    Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and webhook parsing tools to catch the inbound hook and extract support flags and submission fields.
