With OMQ Assist you answer customer inquiries automatically in Freshdesk

Together with Freshdesk and the integration of OMQ Assist, you can significantly increase the productivity of your service agents. As an app, OMQ Assist automatically integrates to your Freshdesk ticket system and answers customer inquiries automatically.

Customer service is not only simplified, but also improved. The answering process is made more efficient by providing the agents with reply text modules. The OMQ software automatically generates answers with the help of Artificial Intelligence. In this article we show how to integrate OMQ Assist to Freshdesk.

Solve inquiries with a click - with OMQ Assist

When the ticket is opened, OMQ Assist reads the e-mail automatically and immediately suggests matching solutions in the form of reply text modules. In this way, the service agents are supported in answering the service inquiries.

The service agent selects one of the suggested answer options, which are then inserted into the email with a click of the mouse. The service agent puts together a complete reply email with just a few clicks. The mail can then be sent directly.

OMQ knowledge base

The core of the OMQ system is the central OMQ knowledge database, which collects and manages service knowledge. Thanks to the OMQ AI technology used, the knowledge base learns across all channels and becomes more precise with every request.

The system uses feedback from both customers and service employees to continuously improve the quality of the answers. All OMQ products are linked to the central knowledge base. This means that all communication channels are supplied with the same service knowledge.

Freshdesk’s cloud-based help desk system

Freshdesk is a cloud-based help desk system, that solves customer requests across the various service channels. It also automates workflows, offers self-service options, manages SLAs and creates reports. Freshdesk provides solutions to Bridgestone, HP, Harvard University and DHL, among others.

OMQ Assist for Freshdesk

OMQ Assist can be used immediately after integration, because no extensive training is required. With the help of our plug-in, every service employee is able to compose reply e-mails that always show the same high service quality on all channels.

The e-mails that land in the mailbox are read and understood by OMQ Assist in real time. In addition, matching questions and answers from the knowledge base are displayed directly on the left. If the service employee clicks on “reply by e-mail”, these can be used as text modules for the reply e-mail. In case only a certain part of the email needs to be analyzed, this text passage can be marked as follows: Ctrl key + right click - then you simply select “OMQ Assist”. Not only the customer’s request is analyzed, but also the language, which can also be adjusted manually if required.
