The ASAP SDK for Android provides easy access to help end-users of your Android app. Using this SDK, you can create and customize a help widget that resides within your app and provides end-users with easy access to the Help Center services:
• Customer support team (to raise tickets or chat with support agents)
• Knowledge Base (to access help articles)
• User Community (to interact with other app users)
This addition means that end-users do not have to exit your app and visit your website or send an email to contact you for support. They can quickly seek help from your app, saving time and enjoying a premium customer experience.
