Smith.ai Chat Now Integrates with PracticePanther

2021-07-27

PracticePanther is a law practice management software for client intake (CRM), document management, billing, and more. Now you can automatically add Smith.ai Chat intake info and transcripts directly into PracticePanther. Use this integration to create a seamless process from web visitor chat to creating a contact (or lead) in your CRM. Each time a web visitor engages with live chat on your site, the transcript will be logged in PracticePanther, either as a new contact or as new activity for an existing contact.

Facilitate client conversion and intake by using Smith.ai Live Chat alongside PracticePanther. Learn more about how to easily set up and start using this integration.

How Smith.ai Chat & PracticePanther Work Together

This integration is fairly simple. When you connect Smith.ai Chat to PracticePanther, contact information and transcripts from web chat conversations will be logged in your PracticePanther account under “Contacts.” For new web visitors, a new contact will be created. Returning web visitors will have their contact activity updated with a new chat transcript. Setup takes a few minutes and then the platforms will communicate automatically. You don’t have to do anything else!

How to Connect PracticePanther to Smith.ai Chat

These instructions assume you already have a PracticePanther account. If you don’t, go set one up at practicepanther.com and come back here.

  1. Sign in to your Smith.ai Chat account and navigate to Integrations.
  2. Click on the “PracticePanther” tile. Then click the button to connect.
  1. Sign into your PracticePanther account (unless you have already). Then you'll be transferred to a screen asking for authorization of data sharing between PracticePanther and Smith.ai. Click “Grant Access.”

That’s it! You’ll then be sent back to Smith.ai’s dashboard where you should see PracticePanther is now connected. Your live chat contact information and conversation transcripts will now start appearing in your PracticePanther account after every relevant chat.

Please note: PracticePanther integration is an add-on service for chat and will incur an additional fee. View add-on pricing.

How to Access Chat Transcripts in PracticePanther

Once this integration is set up, new contacts will start to appear in your PracticePanther account. Here's how to access them:

  1. If the chat was logged recently or you have a low volume of activity, you should be able to see the new contact in the “Recent Activity” section of your PracticePanther main dashboard.
  1. To access all contacts created within the current day, navigate to the Contacts tab in PracticePanther and set the Created Date to “Today.”
  1. As you review the new contacts, check the "notes" or "activities" tab in each contact to review the chat transcript. Remember you will also always get an email from Smith.ai with every chat transcript.
