Integrations are a Qontak Omnichannel feature where customers can connect various platforms with chat panels such as email or Instagram.
Important
Only users with the Admin role can perform the integration. If you do not have an account with the Admin role, you can contact our support team at support-qontak@mekari.com.
To integrate the chat panel with Email on the Web, you need to follow these steps:

On the right side of the email integration form there are procedures for integrating email and who can use the feature.
Those who can use the email integration feature are:
- Only Admin can integrate the email.
- Admin, Supervisor, and Agent can use it in Inbox.

2. Follow the steps and fill out the form.
