LiveChat updates
We like to stay fresh!
Reply to SMS text messages with the free Twilio integration
It pays to be everywhere your customers are.
Thanks to the Twilio integration with LiveChat, you can easily respond to customers who text you. Even better, SMS messages have a 98% open rate. Your messages will get noticed and customers can chat where it’s most convenient for them.
Chat just as you do when customers contact you through other channels. All you need to get started is a Twilio account and an eligible phone number (you can also get a number from Twilio).
Receive and reply to text messages using one or more telephone numbers. Route SMS messages from each number to the LiveChat group of your choice.
Go to the LiveChat Marketplace to get started with the free Twilio integration.
Customer Insight – your Shopify store(s) at your fingertips in LiveChat!
Our customers’ success is our success. To help you sell and help customers more effectively, we’ve created the Customer Insight for Shopify, which integrates even more Shopify features into your LiveChat Agent app.
The Customer Insight widget is your Shopify Admin panel right in the chat, so that all the information about your customers and their orders is right there at your fingertips. Without leaving LiveChat, you can see a customer’s cart, send Product Cards view previous orders, as well as manage orders and refunds. This means that when the customer comes to chat you can hit the ground running because you’ll see the full context the moment the chat starts.

Customer Insight is available to install from the Shopify App Store.

But that’s not all! You can also choose a field to which LiveChat will automatically attach ID of the chat, from which the ticket was created. Just in case that you’d like to keep record of which chats resulted in creating tickets.

Highrise For LiveChat Is Getting an Update!
From now on, you can add new contacts to your Highrise account and see if the person chatting with you is already on your list. All of that without leaving your LiveChat app!
Highrise for LiveChat: what’s the update about?
We’ve basically revamped the UI of the integration, making the experience of adding new Contacts to Highrise much smoother. From now on, clicking on Add to Highrise button will no longer take you to the completely different screen, outside of LiveChat app.
Instead, we will open a new window straight in your LiveChat, where you’ll be able to add new Contacts to your Highrise account. And that should significantly improve your workflow with the integration.
Highrise for LiveChat: so, what else is there?
We’ve not only updated the UI of Highrise integration, but we’ve improved the source code of it as well. This change will ensure the better stability of the module, and it will also provide us with better tools to diagnose your Highrise integration, in case of any issues!
In addition to all that, we’ve got one more treat for you. If you’ll click here, you will see our updated Highrise tutorial, telling you all about the integration itself and guiding you through the installation process. Just in case that you have not yet linked your LiveChat with Highrise :)

Messenger for LiveChat: so what does it offer?
The integration is pretty simple. With the use of it, you can link your Facebook Page with LiveChat and reply to your fans without switching your app to Messenger.
Whenever your agents accept chats, each new conversation started on Facebook page will be automatically transferred to LiveChat. And all of that for only $10 per month!
