Puprpose of SalesForce integration
Send all of your live chat sales leads and customer service inquiries to Salesforce CRM automatically.  Highly configurable and flexible LiveHelpNow live chat software > Salesforce CRM integration.
 
How does the Salesforce integration work?
When a customer enters their email address into the pre-chat window, we search your Salesforce records for a matching email and assign the chat transcript to the associated contact, lead or person account automatically. Chat transcripts could be saved as tasks or leads and can be automatically assigned to the specific owner or chatting agent within SalesForce.
 
If duplicates are found sharing the same email, an agent is prompted to select the appropriate Saleforce record to attribute the chat transcript to. When there is no matching Saleforce record for the email provided, you can choose to either create a new contact, lead or person account record or to take no action.
 
Pre-requisite
 
Configure pre-chat window to collect required for the integration fields, in most cases those are Name and Email.
Note: If you would like to capture required fields automatically without asking customers to provide them please see supplying known pre-chat fields instructions
  1. Login to LiveHelpNow as an administrator.
  2. Switch to Admin Panel -> Chat system -> Customization ->Pre-chat requirements.
