Celebrating Raksha Bandhan with Zoho Desk: A Bond of Trust, Protection, and Service

Celebrating Raksha Bandhan with Zoho Desk: A Bond of Trust, Protection, and Service



Raksha Bandhan, celebrated across India, symbolizes the sacred bond of protection and affection between siblings.
“Raksha” means protection, “Bandhan” means bond or knot: together, it represents a knot of care and security.
On this occasion, we'd like to honor this spirit by strengthening the bond we share with you, which is built on trust, privacy, and proactive support.
Here are a few highlights of how Zoho Desk ensures you and your customers are protected and empowered.

Data protection and privacy  

Privacy is our priority, whether it is your organizational-level information or the data of your customers. Zoho Desk offers field-level security and encryption in PII fields to protect sensitive customer data. This helps build the sacred trust between you and your customers, ensuring the privacy of the data and information they share.
Moreover, custom layouts can be created with access restrictions for agents within Zoho Desk. In the fields, you can also restrict information from being shared on the Help Centre.

Role-based access and profile permissions

Providing the right level of access to the right people helps prevent issues, ensures secure data handling, and keeps your processes streamlined.
You can handle personal data within forms, tickets, and profiles securely by enabling or disabling permissions in the profiles. Define permissions based on Admin, Agent, or Custom Roles. This helps you control access provided to active agents within Zoho Desk on tickets, knowledge base, community posts, and reports. Maintain confidentiality across departments and teams, even while sharing tickets to different departments. Giving the right level of access to the right people helps you foresee issues beforehand, handle data with confidentiality, and ensure your process flow is neat.

The Community Module

The Community module in Zoho Desk promotes a healthy, collaborative space for sharing opinions, questions, ideas, and challenges, while also opening up for discussions. Users can report issues, find help from one another, thus strengthening bonds with fellow users and experts from the organization. The Community provides a gamified experience with rewards for user participation. The professionalism of this space is maintained by admins, who moderate user posts and comments before content goes live. This setting helps filter spam and off-topic discussions, keeping your brand's image strong.

Audit Logs and Action History

For an organization to run smoothly, it’s essential to anticipate disruptions, loopholes, or setbacks. The audit log feature in Zoho Desk helps you stay prepared.
Action taken by agents with data in Zoho Desk at specific dates and times can be tracked in the audit log, assuring customers that their data is handled securely and that your responses reflect the integrity of the organization. The detailed action history helps you maintain accountability, ensure compliance, and support service-level protection and audits.

Process-level protection

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) within automation help you meet customer deadlines by defining response and resolution times, and by escalating tickets to the appropriate agents, admins, or managers when required. Automatic escalations ensure prompt action before issues impact your customers. Like the Rakhi, which symbolizes commitment, SLAs help you uphold your promises to customers and meet their requirements.

The Raksha Bandhan Parallel  

Just as a Rakhi represents protection and care, Zoho Desk weaves a protective framework around customer relationships. Zoho Desk offers more than just basic security, with features like read receipts to confirm that information has reached the customer, attachment control to protect against malware and risky files, and analytics and dashboards to keep you informed about customer satisfaction and agent performance.   From safeguarding data to ensuring timely resolutions, every feature is designed to earn and maintain customer trust.
We offer to
  • Protect your customer data with robust security features
  • Deliver consistent, empathetic support
  • Empower your agents without compromising on security
  • Strengthen the bond between your brand and your customers
Wishing you a supportive Raksha Bandhan  
May your customer service continue to be as reliable and protective as the bond we celebrate today. With Zoho Desk, we are not just offering support; we offer trust, care, and assurance.
Wishes and Regards, 
Lydia
Zoho Desk team

      • Tip #1: Learn to pick the right channels

        Mail, live chat, telephony, social media, web forms—there are so many support channels out there. Trying to pick the right channels to offer your customers can get pretty confusing. Emails are most useful when the customer wants to put things on record. However, escalated or complicated issues should not be resolved over email because it's slow and impersonal.  When you need immediate responses, live chat is more suitable. It's also quick and convenient, so it's the go-to channel for small issues.
