In-app support
Helping customers through in-app support
In-app support, like Zendesk Embeddables, allows your help desk to exist anywhere your customers are -- on their mobile devices, your website, or standalone smart devices. Now your customer can interact with your agents in a native environment, making your customer service a seamless experience.
What does in-app support look like?
In-app support is made possible thanks to a combination of Zendesk API, Web Widgets, and Mobile SDKs. All that means is that your customers will be able to click on an icon in-app that allows them to access your FAQs, submit feedback, or open a ticket.
On the company’s end, your help desk is able to interact seamlessly with the customer across platforms, to convert the conversation to a different platform (like phone or email), and to bounce the inquiry to an agent better able to solve it. In-app support is part of Zendesk’s broader analytics and reporting capabilities, which track and analyze ticket resolutions to find bugs and problems best addressed by a self-help resource.
