Zoho Desk ASAP Widget - How to Set Up
Introduction
The ASAP help widget for websites makes your help center easily available for your end-customers. By embedding this widget with your website, you can provide your customers with easy access to your:
- Customer support team (to raise tickets)
- Knowledge base (to access help articles)
- User community (to interact with other customers)
- Answer Bot (to find quick answers through Zia, our AI-powered virtual assistant)
- Guided Conversations (to access the bot builder)
You can choose to display the same help widget across all the pages of your website or a unique add-on for each webpage. Following this approach will deliver contextual support for your customers. For example, if you run a retail business, you can display a department-specific help widget on the page for each department. In other words, the help widget for the electronics page can be configured to only display help articles related to electronics. In contrast, the help widget for the footwear page can be configured to only display help articles related to footwear and so on.
The ASAP SDK is compatible from iOS 13.0 and Xcode version 14.3.1.
