1. Understanding Webhooks and Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will understand how webhooks work with Pabbly Connect. Webhooks are essential for transferring data between applications upon specific events. By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate tasks and send data seamlessly between LiveAgent and other platforms.

Webhooks act as a bridge for communication, allowing LiveAgent to send updates to other applications when certain actions occur. This tutorial will guide you through setting up a webhook in LiveAgent using Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To begin, access your Pabbly Connect account and create a new workflow. This will involve selecting LiveAgent as the trigger application. The trigger event we will choose is ‘New Rule’, which activates when a new ticket is created in LiveAgent.

• Log into your Pabbly Connect account.
• Create a new workflow and select LiveAgent as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Rule’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger event, a webhook URL will be generated by Pabbly Connect. This URL is crucial as it will be used in LiveAgent to send data back to Pabbly Connect whenever a new ticket is created.

3. Configuring LiveAgent to Use the Webhook

Next, we will configure LiveAgent to utilize the webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect. Go to your LiveAgent account and navigate to the settings menu. Under the automation section, you will find the option to create a new rule.

• In LiveAgent, access the settings and click on ‘Automations’.
• Select ‘Rules’ and click on ‘Create Rule’.
• Set the rule status to active and name your rule (e.g., ‘New Test Tickets’).

Once the rule is created, you will need to select the action as an HTTP request. Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the URL field. Set the HTTP method to POST and configure the body with the required parameters.

4. Testing the Integration with LiveAgent

After configuring LiveAgent, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Create a new ticket in LiveAgent to trigger the webhook. This will help verify if the setup is working correctly and if data is being sent to Pabbly Connect.

To create a new ticket, navigate to the ticket section in LiveAgent, click on the ‘+’ icon, and fill in the necessary details such as the subject and department. After creating the ticket, check Pabbly Connect to see if it has received the webhook response.

Once the ticket is created, you should see the response in Pabbly Connect with all the details you configured in the body. This confirms that the webhook is functioning correctly and data is being transferred as intended.
