Transform your live chat management with Zapier
Zapier helps customer service teams turn live chat management automation into a faster, more reliable support workflow. Route incoming chats, escalate priority conversations, and log follow-up workβand that's just the start.
Chat routing
Get every chat to the right agent faster
Zapier automates live chat routing the moment a new conversation starts. Messages from Intercom, LiveChat, Drift, or tawk.to can trigger assignments, Slack alerts, and task creation based on team rules. That means faster first responses and less manual chat management.
Smart chat assignment
Route incoming live chat conversations by topic, language, or priority, so agents get the right work without manual sorting.
Real-time agent alerts
Send instant Slack or Google Chat notifications when a new chat arrives, helping customer service teams respond before queues build.
Priority chat escalation
Flag urgent conversations based on keywords or chat source and create immediate alerts, so high-stakes issues do not sit unanswered.
After-hours coverage rules
Redirect chats that arrive outside business hours to backup channels or follow-up queues, keeping customer service responsive around the clock.
Channel-based routing
Sort live chat requests by widget, campaign, or inbox and send them to the best team, reducing handoffs across chat management workflows.
