Workato

Introduction​

This module allows to send data from LoyJoy to Workato. Workato is a service that allows you to connect to many other cloud applications. You can use Workato to send data to other systems like Salesforce, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, etc. Workato calls these connections "Recipes". You can create a Recipe that will be triggered by the chat. The chat will send data to Workato and Workato will send the data to the other system.
