Integrating


Live Chat integrates with multiple BMC applications such as such as Smart IT and BMC Helix Business Workflows.

By default, end users can interact with support agents by using Self Service Portal in Live Chat. 
If you want end users using BMC Helix Virtual Agent to interact with support agents, ensure that Live Chat is integrated with BMC Helix Virtual Agent.

Agents can connect to a chatbot from Smart IT (which is installed on-premises or deployed as a deployment package), or  BMC Helix Business Workflows.

Important

We support integrating Live Chat only with specific BMC applications. We do not support integrating Live Chat with third-party applications.
