How to Send Dokan Data to LiveChat
LiveChat is a live chat platform. Events can trigger instant notifications. Every Dokan vendor record should flow into LiveChat automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to live chat. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Dokan installed and configured.
- A LiveChat account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect LiveChat to AFI
LiveChat uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → LiveChat, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Dokan to LiveChat.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Dokan as the form provider. AFI fires when a vendor registers or a product is submitted, giving you access to vendor name, email, store name, product title, and store category.
3. Select LiveChat as the destination
Choose LiveChat from the platform dropdown and pick Add Customer. This creates a customer in LiveChat.
4. Map fields
Match each LiveChat field on the left to the corresponding Dokan field on the right. Common mappings include vendor name, email, store name, product title, and store category. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Dokan. Check LiveChat to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps name and email to LiveChat with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
Frequently asked questions
Which Dokan events trigger the integration?

Will adding this slow down my site?
No. AFI sends data to the destination after the event completes. Your site performance is not affected.
Can I send data to multiple platforms?
Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every record flows to all of them simultaneously.
