HelpDesk

HelpDesk.com is the ticketing capability inside Text.com, the customer service platform. Support teams use it to manage tickets from email, live chat, Messenger, and SMS in one queue, with automation and AI handling the repetitive work. Teams receive customer messages across channels, assign them to the right agent or team, track progress against SLAs, and close cases inside a shared inbox. A conversation that starts on Messenger and continues over email stays a single thread, so agents work from full context rather than fragmented records.
