The KonnectBot Zapier integration lets you connect your chat workspace to thousands of other tools without writing any code. When something happens in KonnectBot — a new conversation starts, a chat gets assigned, or an issue is resolved — Zapier can trigger an action in another app automatically. Use it to keep your CRM, team notifications, and reporting in sync with what’s happening in chat.

What you can automate

Here are common workflows teams set up with the KonnectBot Zapier integration:
  • Create a CRM contact when a new conversation starts in KonnectBot
  • Send a Slack notification when a conversation is assigned to an agent
  • Log resolved chats to a spreadsheet for reporting and quality review
  • Add a contact to a mailing list when a conversation is marked resolved

Available triggers

These KonnectBot events can start a Zap:

How to set up a Zap

1

Go to zapier.com and create a new Zap

Log in to your Zapier account and click Create Zap to open the Zap editor.
2

Search for KonnectBot as the trigger app

In the trigger step, search for KonnectBot and select it from the app list.
3

Choose a trigger event

Select the event that should start your Zap, for example New Conversation, Conversation Assigned, or Conversation Resolved.
4

Connect your KonnectBot account using your API key

When prompted, enter your KonnectBot API key to authenticate. You can find your API key in your KonnectBot workspace under Settings → API Keys.
5

Choose your action app

In the action step, search for the app you want to connect — for example Slack, Google Sheets, or HubSpot.
6

Map the fields and test the Zap

Map the KonnectBot trigger data (such as customer email, conversation ID, or message content) to the fields in your action app. Run the test to verify the data flows correctly.
7

Turn on the Zap

Click Publish to activate the Zap. It will run automatically whenever the trigger event occurs in KonnectBot.
Find your KonnectBot API key in Settings → API Keys inside your workspace dashboard. Keep this key private and rotate it if it is ever exposed.
For complex multi-step automation within KonnectBot itself — such as routing logic, greeting flows, and conditional handoffs — use KonnectBot’s native visual flow builder instead of Zapier. Zapier works best for connecting KonnectBot events to external tools.
