# Select Live Chat Vendor
The "Select Live Chat Vendor" screen allows users to select their preferred Live Chat to connect customers to agents.
After deciding on your AI Chatbot and connecting your Channel, you can now choose your **Live Chat** in the ***Step 3: Select Live Chat Vendor*** page. This determines what internal messaging platform your will use to connect your Live Agents to your customers.
Doing this will make this specific Chat Flow visible to the Captivate Chat app in the Live Chat service you selected. It won't be visible in unselected platforms.

**Connect your Live Chat service to your Chat Flow in a different process!**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://manual.captivatechat.ai/start-creating/create-a-chat-flow/select-live-chat-vendor.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
