  • Gold-Link credentials – enter your URL, address, username and password for Gold-Link.
  • LiveChat credentials – find these in your LiveChat Agent Profile > Edit > For Developers.

  • Create a new token and select all of the scopes related to “chat”

Adding Webhooks in LiveChat

This is a one-off process that you will need to perform.
  • In LiveChat, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Webhooks and select the “+ Add a webhook” link.
  • Select the +Add a webhook link
  • Copy the “Chat Started Webhook” value from Gold-Vision. When a chat commences in LiveChat, this webhook is used to display Gold-Vision contact / lead data in LiveChat.
  • Set “Event” to “chat starts” and select all “Data types”. Paste the copied value in the “Target URL”.
  • Select “Add a Webhook” button.
  • Copy the “Chat Ended Webhook” value from Gold-Vision. When a chat ends in LiveChat, this webhook is used to submit the chat transcript to Gold-Vision.
  • In LiveChat, set “Event” to “chat ends” and select all “Data types”. Paste the copied value in the “Target URL”. Select “Add a Webhook” button.

Setting Group Defaults

When a LiveChat is initiated users will have the option to create new items in Gold-Vision. This is defined in the Group Defaults area in Settings.
For example a Gold-Vision, by default a user in the Sales Team will be able to create a new Opportunity when working on a LiveChat.

Display Mapping

Next you will need to see how information for a Chat is displayed
From Gold-Vision go to Settings then select Display Mappings 
You can set this for Accounts and Contacts as well as for Leads by searching for Display Mapping in the Settings area.
  • Accounts and Contacts
Additional fields can be added and the order can be amended by dragging and dropping the field
  • Lead Management

Enable User Access

To enable a user to create new items in Gold-Vision, the Gold-Vision Administrator needs to set the user’s LiveChat id against their Gold-Vision user record.
