The Agent Assist App


The Agent Assist app empowers your agents through real-time assistance with access to conversation history and user details by embedding a web widget of Freshchat directly into the conversation inbox. This allows agents to use the widget seamlessly to communicate with a bot, which assists them in addressing customer inquiries efficiently. This streamlined approach significantly enhances the overall effectiveness of your customer support team by improving agent performance and quality of customer service, leading to higher customer satisfaction.


Installation

Adding the Widget Script

  • Go to Admin Settings in your Freshchat account.

  • Under the 'Channels' section, select 'Web Widget.'

  • Click on the 'Embed' button from the Web Widget page to copy the widget script.


Configuring the Topic Name

Enter the Topic Name: During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter a specific topic name. This topic is what the agent will see by default upon opening any conversation.

Bot Mapping: In the 'Topic Management' section within the Admin Settings, it is crucial to map the appropriate bot against this chosen topic correctly.
