Moving from Freshdesk

From sign-up to answering, in four steps

No developer needed. The assistant learns from what you have already written, and your team keeps working where it works now.

  1. Point it at your help centre

    Give EzyConn the address of your public Freshdesk help centre. It finds the linked article pages, you keep the ones you want, and it reads them.

  2. Add files and exact answers

    Upload PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown or CSV files, and write any answers your articles leave out. Add exact questions and answers for the things customers ask most.

  3. Paste one snippet on your site

    Paste the EzyConn script snippet into your website. Connect WhatsApp, Telegram, email or your own Twilio number too, so one agent answers them all.

  4. Choose how hand-over routes

    Pick manual, round robin, least busy or most recently active routing. Then decide whether your team replies from the shared inbox or from Slack threads.
