Do your chat visitors report bugs to your team through LiveChat chat? If yes, you can pass transcripts of such chats to your projects in Jira to make the work of your debugging team easier.

Follow the steps below to create a Zap which will pass an issue to Jira after the ‘Bug’ tag is added to a chat.

Creating the Jira – LiveChat ZapLink icon

Creating this Zap consists of four main parts:

  1. Setting up the trigger\
    • choosing an event that will start data passing
  2. Adding a filter\
    • determining which chats will get through the destination app
  3. Configuring the action\
    • setting up what happens in the target app
  4. Launching the Zap\
    • turning the integration on
