DeskPress – Complete Integration for HelpScout HelpDesk & WordPress

Description

DeskPress is an actual support portal that connects Help Scout support helpdesk to your WordPress site, so your entire support experience will live under your brand on your own domain (and not HelpScout’s).

DeskPress adds a full-page support portal to your site with a hero section, searchable knowledge base, quick-action cards, and a conversation dashboard.

Your customers log-in to your site with their existing WordPress account username & password and get instant access to everything: open tickets, past conversations, and your documentation.

The portal is fully customizable with 50+ design options: Colors, typography, layout, card styles, and custom CSS, so it looks like a natural part of your site, not like a third-party embed.
