Salesforce Live Agent Chat – Objects

In this post, I am going to explain about the standard objects which will be created by default the moment you enable Live Agent in your organization. Let’s start – Live Chat Visitors:This object contains information about the visitors who has initiated the chat session. One important field here is the Session Key. A session key in a unique record which is stored on Live Chat Visitor’s record and end user’s machine as a cookie. But why? The reason is if the end user is initiating multiple chat sessions, then Salesforce will link all Live Chat Transcripts records (This is another object, which I will explain in a few minutes) to this unique Live Chat Visitor record.
