Included in Scale and above

A help desk that knows the customer.

Tickets, SLAs, knowledge base, chat, and AI suggestions all reading the same CRM record. Email and web chat unified into one queue, with no second login and no separate seat count.

Capabilities

Operational support, with the substance — not the SKU farm.

Each capability is exercised by the same data your CRM, KB, and projects modules use. The AI on the right side of the ticket is the same AI that drafts your follow-up emails.

Tickets, conversations, and threads in one inbox

Email, chat widget, and form submissions land in the same triage queue. Routing rules dispatch to teams or owners based on sender, subject, account, or AI intent.

SLA policies that actually fire

First-response and resolution SLAs by priority, plan, or contract. Pauses on customer-waiting status, escalates on breach, and surfaces upcoming-breach tickets at the top of the queue.

Labels, priority, and templates

Custom labels and priorities, ticket templates for repeat issues, canned replies with variables — operational tools agents reach for every hour.

Merge, split, and link tickets

Merge duplicates with full audit, split a long thread into two issues, link tickets to a project task or a known incident. Comments and history stay intact.

Knowledge base, internal and public

Tiptap-edited articles with versioning, public portal for customers, internal sections for agents. Search reads the same hybrid index as the rest of Workestra.

AI suggestions on every ticket

The Entity AI panel reads the ticket + customer history + KB + similar past tickets. Suggested replies, suggested labels, suggested status — all reviewable, never auto-sent.

Similar tickets at the top of the panel

HNSW vector search ranks past resolved tickets by semantic similarity. Agents see how the same issue was solved last time without leaving the record.

Internal notes, mentions, and reactions

Comments thread on every ticket, @-mention to pull in the right teammate, emoji reactions for low-noise acks. The same comment surface as projects.

CSAT and resolution feedback

Post-resolution survey shipped with the closing email, scored and aggregated into the analytics module. Trend by agent, label, and source.

Reply from the inbox or the ticket

Outbound replies use the workspace email backplane (DKIM, threading, idempotency). Inbound replies route back to the same ticket — no orphaned threads.

Web chat widget, embeddable

Drop-in chat widget that creates tickets in the same queue, identifies the contact via your CRM, and persists across sessions. Same agent UI as email.

Support analytics built in

First-response time, resolution time, backlog age, agent load, label distribution, and CSAT — live, filterable, sharable in the Analytics module.

Built into the suite

Support sits between CRM, KB, and projects — and reads all three.

Routing a ticket to engineering, escalating to a project, or quoting a customer history works without exporting anything. Workestra ships the connective tissue.

CRM

Every ticket is attached to the contact and company in CRM. Agents see the deal, the value, and the owner without context-switching.

Knowledge base

The same KB powers the public help portal and the agent's quick-reply panel. Edit once, served everywhere.

Projects

Escalate a ticket to a project task in one click — keeping the originating ticket, the customer, and the comment thread linked. Status flows back.

Inbound email + Slack

Email and Slack messages create tickets via the shared inbound router. Routing rules are workspace-scoped, not channel-specific.

Audit log + idempotency

Every reply, status change, and merge is audited. Idempotency keys prevent duplicate replies on retried sends.

AI tools

Support-specific AI tools — draft reply, summarize thread, find similar tickets, classify intent — exposed to the Copilot and over MCP.

vs Zendesk / Intercom

What you stop paying for.

Zendesk and Intercom are great help desks, expensive at scale, and disconnected from the rest of your stack. Workestra gives you the help desk and the rest of the stack.

Zendesk / Intercom

  • PricingSuite Professional starts at $115/agent/mo. Add-ons for AI, sandboxes, advanced routing.
  • Customer contextCustomer profile is whatever you push from your CRM. AI assistants do not see deal value or projects.
  • Knowledge baseHelp Center is its own product. Internal KB requires another product (Guide vs. Help Center).
  • Project escalationJira / Linear integration to push tickets out as issues. Bi-directional sync is the painful part.
  • AIZendesk AI / Fin are paid add-ons priced per resolution. Limited context outside the ticket.

Workestra Support

  • PricingIncluded in your Workestra plan. AI Copilot, advanced routing, and KB ship with the same seat.
  • Customer contextEvery ticket is the CRM record. Agents see deals, projects, invoices, and past tickets in one panel.
  • Knowledge baseOne KB. Public portal + internal articles, served from the same Tiptap edits and the same search.
  • Project escalationEscalate a ticket to a project task in one click. Comments, customer, and history stay linked.
  • AICopilot reads the ticket, customer, KB, and similar past tickets. Drafts reviewable, never auto-sent.
