Chats are captured as tickets, preserving the transcript for future reference.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Live Chat Works in Zoho Desk<\/h2>\n<p>A chat widget is embedded on your website using a code snippet. When a visitor starts a chat, Zoho Desk routes it to an available agent based on assignment rules. If no agent is available, the visitor can leave a message that creates a ticket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Chat-to-Ticket Conversion<\/h2>\n<p>Every live chat session in Zoho Desk creates a ticket. The chat transcript becomes the ticket&#8217;s conversation history. This means agents handling follow-up queries have full context from the original chat session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Integration with Zoho SalesIQ<\/h2>\n<p>For advanced live chat features, Zoho Desk integrates with Zoho SalesIQ. This integration provides visitor tracking, proactive chat triggers, and chatbot capabilities, all feeding into Zoho Desk tickets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A healthcare provider in Hyderabad embeds a Zoho Desk chat widget on their appointment booking page. Patients can ask pre-appointment questions via chat, and the transcript is saved as a ticket linked to their contact record.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/asap-embedded-widget-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">ASAP (Embedded Widget)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/desk-salesiq-integration-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Desk + SalesIQ Integration<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/chatbot-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Chatbot (Desk)<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is the Live Chat Channel in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The live chat channel lets customers communicate with support agents in real time via a website chat widget.
