LiveChat Destination
Destination Info
- Accepts Identify calls.
- Refer to it as LiveChat in the Integrations object
Components
Getting Started
When you enable LiveChat in the Segment web app, your changes appear in the Segment CDN in about 45 minutes, and then Analytics.js starts asynchronously loading LiveChat’s JavaScript onto your page. This means you should remove LiveChat’s snippet from your page.
- LiveChat’s chat box will appear on your page and you can start chatting with visitors.
LiveChat is only supported on the client-side.
Identify
When you call identify
on analytics.js, we take all the traits
you provide and set them as custom variables using LiveChat’s set_custom_variables
function. We use the userId
you provide to identify
as a custom variable called User ID
.
Record Live Chat Events
With this destination, you can automatically record track
events for live chat conversations. If you select this option, we’ll collect the following events:
- Live Chat Conversation Started
- Live Chat Conversation Ended
- Live Chat Message
- Live Chat Message Received
These events will then flow out to your other tools, so you can do things like analyze if users who chat spend more money over time.
To learn more about the live chat events you can capture with this destination, head on over to our Live Chat spec docs.
