Integrating Lighthouse with Live Chat Providers

Lighthouse integrates with some chat widgets to provide an extra layer of ticket deflection so customers can find helpful articles before getting in touch. When integrating the two snippets customers will be able to chat into your team when they press the Contact button inside Lighthouse.

Here's a list of the chat providers Lighthouse integrates with:

• GoSquared
• Intercom
• Sunshine Conversations (formerly Smooch)
• Gorgias
• Front Chat
• Drift
