"Love how easy it is! "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I love the capability of being able to do very specific searches. I also love the ease in emailing customers, seeing previous responses even if it is from a different support representative.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I wish there was a way to download certain tickets/email addresses. Its not super clean right now. When you download it just puts them in a doc. It would be nice to download say all the customers who canceled their subscription through helpshift and have them load into a doc somehow with the conversation link as well.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lots of customers being helped! Love live chat.

"HelpShift Helps productivity!"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Where to start? I love that you can tag issues with created tags and then easily search for any type of issues! I love how easy it is to assign the issue to another representative or queue, this keeps things very organized I feel. It is great how easy it is to insert a FAQ with just one click of a button, saves a lot of time!

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

There are not many things to dislike on Helpshift. I really can't think of anything I would change.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are helping to solve problems when Customers write it with concerns, questions, inquiries or issues with their photobooks. These problems can sometimes be complicated and require a lot of back and forth with customers and HelpShift makes this easy. I love that you can see the history of all the other tickets from the same Customer writing in even when you did not work with them, this prevents Customers having to repeat themselves and their previous issues or questions, this is a huge benefit! This makes us provide quality Customer Service that is noticed by our Customers.

"Helpshift is Helpful"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that the emails come right in and we are able to answer them in a timely manner. The quick replies are some of the most useful things that I use during my workday. I insert them into almost every conversation I have with my customers and find it so convenient that they are just as they say they are, quick. We've started using the Live Chat feature through Helpshift and it truly is such a game changer for my work. I know that when my team has questions or feature requests on Helpshift, that the Helpshift team listens to them seriously and works their hardest to help us implement them.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I don't like that sometimes customers can respond to an email that is really old and it comes back to me, even though it has nothing to do with the issue I help with previously. I also really dislike that linkedin replies come to me through my emails that I've sent to customers. It is obnoxious as I am rejecting them constantly as they are received.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are getting customer's emails answered quickly. It is really beneficial to get the customers taken care of. As mentioned above, we now have the Live Chat feature and it is so helpful in getting customers answered quickly. Our customers are happier as they are getting immediate help and that is a huge benefit to my job. We are also able to track which issues are coming in with their convenient tags. This helps our development team create a better product for our customers.

"Great platform for customer service! "
What do you like best about Helpshift?

I like that Helpshift is willing to work with us on features we would like added to Helpshift. They are always very responsive to us when we have questions or want more features. I love how Helpshift always notifies its users when they will have a service outage (but they are rare!). I also love how Helpshift is easy to use, and easy to keep track of analytics. Always reliable!

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

I don't like that I can't see the email from customers to me on the whole screen. It used to be that way, but was recently changed. So the email is smaller, and if it's a long thread, I have to scroll a long ways up to find older emails, whereas if the screen were bigger, I wouldn't have to scroll as much.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're helping our customers resolve their issues super quickly because of live chat! That has been such a benefit to us and our customer service quality.

There is nothing I would complain about!

"Great Customer Service Integration For Mobile Games"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

How players can look up FAQs or contact us without leaving our game. The user friendly agent interface. The ability to add custom meta data and HS tags.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Not much! I wish there was language translation support in the agent interface. I would like the ability to merge the same users messages into one message. Tracking multiple user messages on the same topic is confusing in the current form.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit is having user data automatically sent to us when they contact us. We no longer have to ask for info like username, etc. This allows us to answer and respond to them faster than before.

"Helpshift helps in Revolutionizing Customer Service Experience"
What do you like best about Helpshift?

Helpshift is a game-changer when it comes to customer service. One of its best attributes is its smooth omnichannel support features. With Helpshift, companies provides assistance across different channels, including web, mobile apps, and messaging networks. This makes sure that prospects can reach out for support through their preferred routes, resulting in a a lot more personalized and hassle-free support experience.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Although Helpshift provides several positive aspects, one probable disadvantage is the learning curve related to its superior attributes. The program offers extensive customization alternatives and robust automation features, which might need some time to training to fully make use of. However, Helpshift gives documentation, training supplies, and assistance resources to help individuals in beating this initial learning bend.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helpshift successfully handles a number of problems confronted by customer support teams. First of all, it centralizes customer interactions through different routes into a single program. This reduces the necessity to switch between several applications or platforms, streamlining the assistance process and lowering the likelihood of overlooking or duplicating client queries. This centralized tactic enhances effectiveness and assures a regular support encounter throughout channels.

"A tool that facilitates communication with the customer."
What do you like best about Helpshift?

It is a very useful tool in the customer service function. Helpshift has the availability of online messages, in addition to the functionality of sending attachments and images. We always seek to make the best delivery of our communication service when representing our product and the tool provides us with a facility for this, so it helps a lot. One of the things I like the most is also the dynamics of the bot implementation, which facilitates the inclusion of quick and practical questions that help when starting a new chat with the customer. It is also possible to book another professional in the service we are performing, so he can follow the service and support the treatment, in addition to being able to include notes that can help in a future conversation and use as a note also in the resolution of that service.

What do you dislike about Helpshift?

Sometimes messages don't reach the client. We carry out the shipment, the customer continues talking to us, but does not receive our lines. The design also appears to be a little outdated. There may be some option to change the background, colors, fonts of the letters that make the tool more dynamic. The way to filter demand queues could be more elaborate, so we could organize the tool more in a visual way.

What problems is Helpshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Today we use the tool to chat with our customers through our product app. The tag function is one of the benefits that help us to raise the questions that most make the customer make this contact. We were also able to put a color filter to determine if a chat has already been answered or if it is still waiting for an answer, set up a transfer to another agent, so the customer doesn't have to wait too long for a response. It is also possible to work with bots in the tool, we were able to automate some trades. Thus, we aim to make our service more optimized.
