LiveChat + Salesforce integrationLiveChat chats as Salesforce leads, with the source attached

A good chat is wasted if it never reaches your CRM. We send LiveChat chats into Salesforce as leads, mapped to your fields, with the keyword and campaign that brought the visitor in.

  • New leads created in Salesforce from LiveChat chats
  • Keyword and campaign data from paid campaigns on each chat lead
  • Data captured for offline conversions in Google Ads and Microsoft Ads

Chats that stay in the chat tool

Out of the box, LiveChat leads do not arrive in Salesforce the way your team needs them. Chats get copied by hand or not at all, leads lose their campaign, and nobody can see how chat is really performing.

What it does

What the LiveChat + Salesforce integration handles

01

Leads created in Salesforce

Chats become Salesforce leads, with chat fields mapped to the fields your team uses.

02

Chat transcripts on the lead

The full chat transcript is saved as a custom activity on the lead, so whoever follows up can read the conversation first.

03

Three ways a chat becomes a lead

Automatically when the visitor enters a name or phone number in the chat before it ends, when an agent adds a tag, or with one click from the chat record.

04

Lead owner rules

Chat leads are given the right owner, including a default owner for leads from a given region.

05

Keyword and campaign data

Keyword and campaign information from paid campaigns stored on each lead created from a chat.

06

Reports and dashboards

LiveChat data in Salesforce reports, with campaign info on qualified and unqualified leads.

07

Offline conversions

The data needed to send sales that happen after the chat back to Google Ads and Microsoft Ads.

The real thing

See it in Salesforce

Screenshots from a live Salesforce LiveChat build, with every name, contact detail and ID replaced.

  1. 1Every touch on one timeline

    Calls, texts, tasks, emails and chats in one activity feed on the lead, with the chat start and the saved transcript as their own entries.

  2. 2A record for every chat

    Each chat saved on its own record, linked to the lead: visitor details, start and end times, website and referrer, the first message and the full transcript.

  3. 3No lead yet? One click

    If the chat is not linked to a lead, the details are pre-filled from the chat and one click creates the lead and associates the chat.
