Integrations

​

Overview of Integration Types

Emplorium offers three primary methods for connecting with your broader software ecosystem:

1. Direct Third-Party Integrations: Pre-built connections with popular CRMs, marketing platforms, and communication tools.
2. API-Based Integrations (Data Requests & Updates): Highly flexible custom connections to pull or push data from virtually any external system.
3. Webhooks: Real-time event notifications sent from Emplorium to other applications.There are three main types of integrations within Emplorium:

​

1. Direct Third-Party Integrations

Emplorium provides direct, out-of-the-box connections with commonly used business applications, simplifying data synchronization and workflow automation

​

Supported Integrations

​

How to Set Up a Direct Integration:

1. Navigate to Integrations: From your Emplorium Dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations
2. Choose your desired tool from the available list
3. Authenticate using OAuth or API key (based on provider)
4. Map fields or event triggers if required
5. Save and activate the integration

​

Common Actions After Integration

Once connected, these platforms can enable:

• Contact Data Sharing: Syncing new leads or customer updates.
• Campaign Triggering: Initiating email sequences based on chat activity.
• Internal Notifications: Sending alerts to team channels for specific chat events.
• Automated Logging: Automatically pushing chat transcripts or key details to your CRM.s

​

2. API-Based Integrations: Data Requests & Data Updates

Emplorium’s API-based integrations are incredibly flexible, allowing Aura AI to interact with virtually any external system capable of sending or receiving data via an API. These are configured directly within Emplorium.

​

a. Data Requests (GET)

• Use Cases:
  • Retrieve a customer’s order status from your e-commerce platform.
  • Fetch a user’s account details from your CRM.
  • Query product availability or pricing from your inventory system.
• Configuration: Configured via Settings > For Developers > Data Request
  • You define the API endpoint URL, HTTP method (GET), and any required headers, query parameters, or body parameters.
• Aura AI Integration: You can train Aura AI to automatically trigger specific Data Requests when certain keywords or user intents are detected in the chat.
  Example: If user says “What’s my order status?”, Aura could trigger a GET request to your order system and display the status directly in the chat.

​

b. Data Updates (POST/PUT)

• Use Cases:
  • Update a customer’s profile in your CRM based on information collected in a chat form.
  • Submit a new support ticket to your helpdesk system.
  • Change a subscription status in your billing system.
• Configuration: Defined via Settings > For Developers > Data Update
  • You specify the API endpoint URL, HTTP method (POST or PUT), and the structure of the payload (the data) that Emplorium will send.
• Aura AI & Flow Integration: Data Updates can be triggered by Aura AI based on intent, or explicitly within a Flow using the “Send Data Update” block.
  Example: After collecting feedback via a form in a Flow, the Flow triggers a POST request to your survey tool’s API to record the feedback.

​

3. Webhooks: Event-Driven Automation

Webhooks provide a real-time, lightweight way for Emplorium to notify other applications about specific events occurring within the platform.

​

How Webhooks Work

When a predefined event happens in Emplorium (e.g., a new message, a chat is resolved), Emplorium will send an HTTP POST request to a URL you specify. This request contains a JSON payload with details about the event.

​

Example Events that Can Trigger a Webhook

• chat.new_message: A new message is sent in any chat.
• aura.fallback_triggered: Aura AI could not confidently answer a user’s query.
• form.submitted: A visitor submits a form through the chat widget or a Flow.
• conversation.resolved: A chat conversation is marked as resolved by an agent.
• kba.article_rated: A visitor rates a Knowledge Base Article. <br/> (Note: The exact event names are defined in your webhook settings.)
