Chatlio Zapier App

What is Zapier?

Zapier is an online automation tool that connects Chatlio with other apps. This allows you to connect different systems and automate tasks. An example of this could be posting offline messages to your support ticket system such as Zendesk or sending chats as leads into a CRM such as Salesforce.
