Toggl integration

If you keep track of your clients in Toggl and use LiveChat on your page this integration is fit for you – you can join those two apps via Zapier. Every time your chat visitor shares their data on LiveChat you can mark such chats with a tag and pass selected info to Client’s section in Toggl.

Here’s a tutorial with instructions on how to create a Zap that will create a new Client in your Toggl after a ‘client’ tag is added to a chat.

Creating the Toggl – LiveChat Zap

Creating a Zap consists of four main parts:

1. Setting up the trigger
2. Adding a filter
3. Configuring the action
4. Launching the Zap

Setting up LiveChat trigger

The first step to set up this integration is to determine a condition that will trigger an action in your Toggl account.

In this integration Chat changed trigger will be used.

1. Log in to Zapier and click on Make a Zap in the upper menu.

2. Choose LiveChat as the Trigger App.
3. Select Chat changed as the Trigger.

4. Click on Save + Continue to proceed.
5. Select Connect a New Account and then provide your LiveChat login email and the PAT (Personal Access Token). Next, click on Yes, continue to accept.

6. You can rename your account. Then confirm your choice by clicking on Save + Continue.
7. Select Fetch & Continue to test this step and make sure it is working properly.

Adding a filter

The second step is adding a filter that will only pass the chats with a ‘client’ tag further.

8. Go to the filter section in Zapier and choose the tag of the chats that you want to pass to Toggl.
9. Then confirm by clicking Continue button.
