Setup your Mailbox

You can access any shared mailboxes that you have permission to use when you sign in to your ThriveDesk account. 

Each ThriveDesk mailbox is equipped with its unique email address, which can be readily employed. If you already have an email address that people use to send you an email, you can set that up inside ThriveDesk. Watch this video to learn how:

Organize your Mailbox

Managing tags

Using tags to categorize conversations is the optimal method for identifying patterns, conducting future analysis, or assigning the conversation to the appropriate team member.

Workflow Automation

Workflow automation is like having a helpful assistant in customer support. It simplifies tasks, meets deadlines, and keeps everything organized. By automating processes, it saves time and makes sure customers get quick responses. This boosts efficiency and keeps customers happy. 

Canned responses

Canned responses streamline repetitive FAQs, saving you from repeatedly typing the same answers and maintaining a pleasant tone.

Add Live Chat Assistant

The Assistant enables you to engage with your customers directly within your application or website – a feature you're likely familiar with! There are multiple methods available for installing the Assistant, and although it's a relatively swift process, it does require access to your codebase or integration through tools like Google Tag Manager.
