Why Connect Front to LiveChat?

No single source of truth when reports live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

New team members take longer to onboard because they must learn manual workarounds to keep Front and LiveChat aligned

LiveChat adds complexity: reporting is functional but lacks the depth of Zendesk and Intercom for analysing customer journey patterns across channels

Client engagement details in Front and time-tracking data in LiveChat do not align, making billing inaccurate

Online orders in Front and in-store inventory in LiveChat are never in sync, frustrating customers

Manually copying data between Front and LiveChat wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

How We Help

Clever Ops builds a custom integration that automates this entire workflow, so your team can redirect that time to higher-value tasks. On the technical side, Front uses a REST + Webhook API with bearer authentication, and LiveChat authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
