Connect with website visitors in real time, answer buyer questions instantly, and manage all of your customer support conversations from one shared helpdesk inbox.

When prospective customers have a question about your pricing, shipping, or product features, they do not want to submit a ticket and wait 24 hours for an email reply. If they cannot get an immediate answer, they leave your site and buy from a competitor.

YS Desk – Live Chat, Chatbot, Chat Widget, Helpdesk, Customer Support & Support Chat is a complete WordPress live chat plugin and team helpdesk solution. It adds a fast, customizable chat widget to your WordPress or WooCommerce site so visitors can message you directly, while giving your team a centralized shared inbox with chatbot workflows, live visitor tracking, file sharing, and real-time customer support analytics.

Setup takes less than two minutes: install the plugin, paste your workspace token from YS Desk, and your support chat widget goes live immediately—with zero coding required.

📥 Shared Helpdesk Inbox & Team Customer Support Collaboration

Stop digging through forwarded emails or losing track of customer inquiries across multiple browser tabs. YS Desk gives your entire support team one unified helpdesk:

Centralized Multi-Agent Inbox: Every conversation started in your WordPress chat widget lands in a real-time shared inbox where your team can filter by status, assigned agent, or unread count.
Smart Conversation Statuses: Track every support ticket and chat through clear stages—Open, Waiting for Customer, Waiting for Agent, or Closed—so no customer inquiry ever slips through the cracks.
One-Click Agent Assignment & Hand-Offs: Assign incoming live chat conversations to the right specialist or transfer chats between departments effortlessly.
Private Internal Notes & @Mentions: Tag teammates with @mentions inside private helpdesk notes to discuss technical questions or account details without the customer seeing the internal message.
Live Agent Presence & Workload Tracking: See which support agents are currently online, how many active chats each teammate is handling, and who is available to take the next visitor.
