Narrative 6 - The impact of rebranding

Every organization has invested in branding to set itself apart, and that should be reflected in the help desk. Zoho Desk enables organizations to apply custom branding by uploading their preferred logo, favicon, and link-back URL, and customizing the portal name. 

Rebranding your help desk

Zoho Desk encourages rebranding to provide a consistent branded experience for both agents and end-users. This process gives organizations several options to replace default branding.

Personalize your logo

You can easily swap the default Zoho Desk logo with your company’s logo to create a consistent experience for your users. Your custom logo will be displayed both in the support portal (for agents) and in the help center (for customers).This ensures a uniform and professional look that builds trust and reinforces brand recognition. 

Set a logo-linkback URL

The logo-linkback URL directs your customers to a specific destination when they click on your company's logo in the help center. This is helpful for user navigation because it enables customers to quickly return to your homepage, help center, or another relevant page.

Your favicon

A favicon, which stands for "favorite icon," is a small graphic that shows up in the browser's address bar and bookmarks when users visit your help desk. This small image enhances brand recognition and lends a professional touch to your online presence. In Zoho Desk, you can customize both the favicon and the link back URL to create a consistent and personalized experience for your users. 

Portal name customization

The portal name acts as the unique address for your help desk account in Zoho Desk. It usually comes from your company name when you initially sign up based on this format: desk.zoho.com/support/<my company>. You can also change the portal name to match your preferences.

Impact

Rebranding provides businesses with an opportunity to reinforce their brand identity and deepen connections with their audience. Whether you’re a startup aiming to build credibility or an established brand wanting to remain top of mind, now is the perfect time to implement custom branding in your help desk.

Please stay tuned for more Desk behind-the-scenes series.

      To remove some of the extreme tedium from Zoho's poorly implemented merge function, I would like to set defaults.  Currently I am defaulted to match "ANY" when I would never do that, so I always have to click "ALL". Then it makes me click on several totally irrelevant drop boxes to turn off phone, mobile and other useless match criteria. Is there a way I can set: Match to default as "ALL" Firstname to default to "IS" Lastname to default to "IS" every other match field default to "-NONE-" This will

      Hi there. I'm surprised this isn't implemented yet (since most other software has this by default).

Yes, I realize I can go the long way around and generate reports and select my date options and select the type of invoices etc...but honestly that shouldn't be necessary when just viewing a list of unpaid invoices and how much total is outstanding.
