New Webhook: Track When a Chat Agent Session Starts

We’ve introduced a powerful new webhook event for Whippy chat agents:

conversation_agent_session.started

This webhook fires whenever a new chat agent session begins—in other words, the moment a chat agent starts handling a customer conversation.

Why This Matters

  • Real-time notifications – instantly know when a new conversation session starts.
  • Better automation – trigger workflows in your CRM, ticketing system, or internal tools.
  • Improved customer visibility – track when an agent joins a chat for accurate reporting.

If your business relies on automated chat workflows, customer support, or AI messaging, this webhook gives you more control over your data and event-driven integrations.

How to Use It

1. Go to your Webhook Settings in Whippy.

2. Subscribe to the conversation_agent_session.started event.

3. Start receiving notifications whenever a new chat agent session begins.

  1. check

This update is part of Whippy’s commitment to giving teams more powerful communication automation tools.
