ThriveDesk – Live Chat, AI Chatbot, Helpdesk & Customer Support Ticket System for WordPress

Auto-replies to common questions, 24/7

Drafts replies for agents to review before sending

Tags and prioritizes incoming tickets

Hands off to a human agent with full context

Picks up new training content the moment you add it

Test it in the AI Playground before you switch on auto-reply

AI Copilot helps the humans too: it summarizes long threads, writes a first draft from the conversation history and suggests the next step.

We are honest about what AI customer support can do. In the first months, expect NEO to resolve 20–45% of first-tier requests. A well-trained setup reaches up to 90%. It supports your team; it does not replace them.

Helpdesk and support ticket system Every email, live chat and contact form submission becomes a trackable ticket in a shared inbox, so nothing is lost in a personal mailbox. Sales, billing and technical support can each have their own inbox, and the ticketing system scales from one person to a customer service team.

Collision detection: two agents never answer the same ticket

@mentions and private notes your customers never see

Canned responses for the answers you give every day

Tags, labels and custom fields for routing and reporting

Snooze, schedule a reply, and undo send

Split a ticket in two, or merge duplicates

Bulk assign and bulk close

Automation rules: route by keyword, assign round-robin, escalate after a set time, enforce SLAs

Reports for volume, response time, resolution rate and customer satisfaction (CSAT)

The WooCommerce help desk: orders, refunds and subscriptions inside the ticket The WooCommerce integration is built and maintained by ThriveDesk, not a third-party connector. From inside any ticket or chat, an agent can:

See the customer’s complete order history and lifetime value

Check shipping status without opening a tracking link

Cancel or refund an order

Add, edit or remove order items

View and cancel subscriptions, with WooCommerce Subscriptions and WPSubscription

Only do what their role allows: refunds and cancellations can be limited to the agents you choose

Store data is fetched from your site on demand and cached locally. It is not copied to ThriveDesk servers.

Customer portal and knowledge base on your own site

WPPortal – put the [thrivedesk_portal] shortcode on any page and customers can open tickets, follow replies and search your help articles without leaving your site

WooCommerce My Account – add a Support tab to My Account, so customers find their tickets next to their orders

Search before you ask – require a search of your help center and chosen post types before the new-ticket button appears; a good help center cuts email volume by up to 30%

Knowledge base – a public help center with your own domain, AI-assisted writing, nested categories, version history and search that understands “can’t log in” means the password reset article

Support from anywhere Agents can reply, assign, tag and chat from the ThriveDesk iOS and Android apps, with real-time updates and dark mode.
