This extension adds a webhook endpoint for receiving chat transcripts from Olark. When
a transcript is received, it it POSTed to your Helpy and created as a ticket. It will
also be associated with the user, provided they use the same email address. If the
user is not found, they will be created inside of Helpy.
Add this to your Gemfile:
gem 'helpy_olark', git: 'http://github.com/scott/helpy_olark', branch: 'master'
and then run:
bundle install
