Congrats, you have just created your first Zap! At the start of each chat, it will save your visitor’s name, email address and add a chat ID of the conversation as a comment.

This is just one of the ways you can set this integration. For example, you can set the trigger to fire when the chat is finished. You can also add Chat Started and Chat Ended variables to the Comments section to get information when the chat started and ended. Check out this example Zap to see how it looks like with those variables added. Try creating Zaps for other services you are using to simplify your work!
