Ensure help is within arm’s reach

Your customers should not have to hunt around for help. Reduce friction from their online experience by making it easy to ask for help and find answers—no matter the device they’re using. Once embedded on a website, the Web Widget is only one click away from guiding a customer along a path to getting their question answered. Once clicked, relevantknowledge base articlesare automatically suggested. If a customer still needs assistance, they can select the type of question before being prompted for specific information relating to their query.

Solve questions faster with self-service

Not all questions require a personal reply, and not all customers have the time or desire for one. Showing knowledge base articles directly within the widget allows customers to find answers themselves instead of waiting on a response. Better yet, make that experience smarter so customers don’t have to look around for content.Contextual Helpin the Web Widget automatically displays knowledge base articles based on the page a customer is viewing. For example, if a customer is looking at a checkout page, they could find articles about payments or delivery options upon clicking on the widget. Customers finding answers themselves means less time waiting on a reply and an opportunity for your support team to focus on the more challenging questions.

Capture more context for a faster resolution

Capturing contextual data from customers reduces the amount back and forth sometimes required to solve an issue. For example: obtaining a customer’s order number before they submit a question about their order status. By focusing on what information is absolutely crucial, customers aren’t overwhelmed with lengthy forms but a support agent still has everything they need to offer a prompt resolution. Where possible, you can avoid putting the burden on the customer to provide information by making use of the data you already have available from the customer journey. UsingPathfinder, an app for Support, your support agents can view the pages a customer visited, the searches they made, and the articles they viewed before reaching out for help. Armed with this information, a support agent can better tailor their response.
