If you use Kustomer as your helpdesk platform, integrating it with Rep streamlines communication with shoppers who need human assistance. When enabled, the integration automatically creates a ticket in Kustomer whenever a shopper requests human support through the Rep widget.
This guide covers how the Rep x Kustomer integration works and how to connect your Kustomer account to Rep.
Understand how the Kustomer integration works
When a shopper requests human assistance in the conversation in the Rep widget, Rep will gather the shopper's contact details and send you a notification email. This email contains a summary and transcript of the conversation so far, as well as the contact information provided by the shopper. When the Kustomer integration is enabled, the notification email will appear as a new ticket in Kustomer.
If you reply while the shopper is still on your website:
- The conversation will turn into a real-time live chat. In other words, your reply within the Kustomer ticket will appear as a live message within the Rep widget on the shopper’s end. You can then continue conversing with the shopper within the ticket interface in Kustomer.
If the shopper has already left your website:
- Your reply will still be sent to the shopper's email address. This setup ensures that you can respond immediately or at a later time, as you prefer, knowing your messages will always reach the shopper.
