The new transfer action brings more flexibility and simpler configuration to the LiveChat integration.

Previously we’ve used the transfer interaction to redirect ongoing chats to LiveChat agents, that had been automatically added to the story after activating the integration. This solution worked all fine, but it didn’t leave much space for customization. That’s why we’ve decided to replace it with the new flexible LiveChat transfer action.

How does the new transfer work

The new transfer action works exactly like any other bot response or action — it can be added to each interaction from the bot responses panel and have filters, and the delay applied. The action can be triggered at any point of the scenario, including the fallback interaction, active when the bot doesn’t recognize the query.

The configuration is quick and easy and allows you to decide to which LiveChat group the chat is going to be transferred to and set up the message in case all the agents are offline.

We want you to decide when your agent's steps in and take over the ongoing chat, that’s why it the transfer isn’t anymore added automatically with the LiveChat integration.
