Integrate Zoho Assist with Zoho SalesIQ

Integrating Zoho Assist with Zoho SalesIQ

Zoho Assist in SalesIQ

Zoho Assist is a cloud-based remote support and remote access software that helps you support customers from a distance through web-based, on-demand remote support sessions. When integrating Zoho Assist with SalesIQ, you can remotely access and establish secure connections to offer your website visitors and customers with quick remote support solutions directly from your SalesIQ dashboard.

Benefits of integrating Zoho Assist with SalesIQ

    1. Support each-and-every interaction your team has with visitors by providing on-demand customer support through remote assistance from the Operator chat window.
    2. Deliver a demo of the necessary attributes to your customers with the Share screen feature that comes with this integration.
    3. Request your visitors for a remote assistance session, take control of their screen, and fix their issues in seconds. 
    4. Administrators can decide about which operators can avail the remote assistance option in their chat window. For example, when a website owner purchases 10 licenses in Zoho SalesIQ and 5 licenses in Zoho Assist, he can  choose the five operators who require Zoho Assist and manually provide them the screen share and remote assistance features while conversing with the visitors through live chat.

    Points to remember:

    1. Free Zoho Assist Users: If you are the Super Admin of the integrated Assist Org, then you will not have any remote assistance session restrictions. It can be noted that screen sharing sessions are not available for free plans even for the Super Admin.
    2. Paid Zoho Assist Users: The sessions for the other plan users depends on their Zoho Assist plan.
