Kissflow Chat connector

Chat connector

Chat connector lets you integrate chat with other flows and third-party applications. You can configure bots for integrations and customize them so that automatic messages are sent to a chat conversation when a specific action is triggered. 

For example, you can use this connector to integrate chat with your Salesmate or Jira account. Webhooks can be used as triggers to receive messages whenever there are updates to deals or other tasks in the accounts.

Action(s) in the connector

1. In your Kissflow account, click your profile picture on the top right corner of the screen and click Integrations. Click the New integration button to provide a name and description for your integration.
