Other options

Region

Freshchat works with different regions. Make sure you choose the correct region or else you are unable to save the configuration.

You can verify your region by looking at the login URL of your Freshchat environment. If the URL contains -eu you'll need to choose EU, else you are in the US region.

Channel name

In case you connect to multiple channels we provide a way that the name of the channel is configured as a user property within Freshchat

Receiving messages

In order to receive messages inside Freshchat, make sure you add a handover reply action. When the handover action is triggered, the conversation will be loaded inside Front.

When an agent archives or removes the conversation, the bot will automatically resume. If the handover occurs again for the same user, Flow will import messages created after the last handover.

Troubleshooting

I see an error whenever I save the integration within Flow

Please check the copied and pasted tokens into the Flow Freshchat configuration. If they are exactly the same, try a different region and press save again. If you still continue to receive an error, contact our support.
