How to integrate with Olark

You will learn

Learn how to integrate Olark, a live chat provider, with Klaviyo in order to automatically sync chat activity to your Klaviyo account after a chat conversation ends. Klaviyo receives data from Olark via a webhook configured from within your Olark account. To enable the integration, you'll first get a webhook endpoint URL from Klaviyo, which you will add to your Olark account to complete the integration.

Get webhook endpoint from Klaviyo

1. In your Klaviyo account, select the Integrations tab.
2. Select Add integrations, search for Olark, then click the card. Then, click Install.
3. Click Connect to Olark.
4. Copy the provided webhook endpoint URL, and keep it secure, for use in the next section of this guide.
   
5. If you would prefer to sync specific chats to Klaviyo, check the option Only sync chats with visitors in specific Olark groups. Then, add the names of the groups you'd like to sync into Klaviyo separated by commas. You can take advantage of this feature when first getting started, or you can come back and adjust your integration settings later on.
6. When you are done, click Complete setup. 

Set up webhook in Olark

1. Log in to Olark and navigate to the Integrations page.
2. Enter "Webhooks" into the search box at the top of the page and click on Webhooks when it appears.
   
3. In the box under URL to post to, paste the webhook endpoint URL you previously copied from Klaviyo.
   
4. You can choose to add any of the options under the webhook URL box if needed.
5. Click Save.
6. If the webhook connection was successful, you'll see a green box with the text Settings saved successfully! and the option to test your new connection.
   
7. If the webhook connection was not successful, check the Olark Webhooks Integration Guide for more assistance.
8. Click Send test Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"> to make sure your endpoint is configured correctly. If the test is successful, you will see a green box with the a smiley face and the text Test sent.
