Make.com & Zapier Automations for the Best AI Chat Agent for Shopify: 10 Revenue Workflows (2026)

Why Webhooks Matter: From Chat to Revenue

Webhooks are the bridge between Chat Squeeze and your business tools. When a customer interacts with your AI Chat agent, the webhook captures that data and sends it to Make.com or Zapier. From there, you can trigger any action: send an email, create a CRM deal, book a calendar slot, or notify your team on Slack. Without webhooks, chat data stays isolated. With them, every conversation becomes a revenue opportunity.
