# HelpWich > HelpWich is the shared inbox for product support teams. Multi-mailbox email, customer context, docs, CSAT, routing, and security. 7-day trial, then a paid plan. HelpWich is a web product (not a plugin). Connect the mailbox customers already write to (Gmail, Outlook, or your host), work Unassigned / Mine / Closed, keep customer history beside the thread, and publish a help center so repeat questions stay out of the inbox. One-tap Google or Microsoft mailbox login is not ready. Slack is not a channel. Customer replies leave through the connected mailbox, not platform mail. ## Home HelpWich is a shared inbox for product teams. Customer email lands in one queue, the right person replies from your brand, and private notes stay with the team. 7-day trial, no card to start. URL: https://helpwich.com/ Leave the shared inbox you already outgrew: - One owner per email: Unassigned, Mine, and Closed. Someone claims the thread. Everyone else can see it without guessing who already replied. - A workspace priced in public: Seven days of the real HelpWich product, then a published plan. You can read the folders and the price before you subscribe. - Inbox, docs, and ratings together: Reply from your brand, publish answers, and see how the week went. One HelpWich workspace, not three tabs. What you open on day one: - One HelpWich inbox the whole team can finish: New mail lands in Unassigned. Someone claims it, replies, and closes. If two people open the same thread, you see each other before you both hit send. - Mail comes from your address, not ours: Connect the inbox customers already write to. HelpWich brings those emails in and sends replies from your brand, so the conversation stays in their mail app. - See the customer before you hit send: Who they are, what they wrote last time, and the tags on this thread. The next person can reply without hunting through old mail. - Answers that stop the same email twice: Publish a help center with your branding. Customers find the article, you see which pages helped, and repeat questions stay out of the inbox. - See how the week actually went: How many emails came in, how fast you replied, and whether customers were happy after you closed. Enough to coach the team, not a BI project. Q: What is HelpWich? A: HelpWich is a shared inbox for product teams. Customers email the address they already know. Your team works one queue, claims each thread, replies from your brand, and keeps private notes the customer never sees. Q: Who is HelpWich for? A: Product and SaaS teams who still support customers over email, especially when more than one person answers mail, or you run more than one brand inbox. Q: Is there a free plan? A: HelpWich starts with a 7-day trial. No card to explore. The trial includes 3 seats, 1 inbox, 100 sends, and 512 MB storage. After that, pick a paid plan to keep the workspace unlocked. Every paid plan includes a 14-day money-back guarantee. Q: What is included in the trial? A: A real HelpWich workspace with fair limits: shared inbox, one mailbox, customer details, a help center, workflows, ratings, and security. Inbox routing, custom fields, and teams unlock on Plus and Pro. ## Features Explore HelpWich: shared inbox, email channels, customer context, replies and notes, routing and SLA clocks, docs, teams, CSAT and reports, apps, and security. 7-day trial, then a paid plan. URL: https://helpwich.com/features ## Shared inbox One queue. A clear owner. A calm day. HelpWich is the shared inbox your team finishes together. Unassigned, Mine, snooze, Closed, and Spam, across every brand mailbox you run. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/shared-inbox - Folders that match your day: Unassigned, Mine, Assigned, Snoozed, Closed, Spam - Bulk assign, close, tag, and snooze without losing the thread - Per-mailbox isolation so brands and products never collide - Collision awareness when a teammate is already in the conversation - Live presence and soft sync so the list stays fresh without reload thrash - Keyboard-friendly reply and note shortcuts for power users - Desktop and mobile layouts with a focused thread pane and customer sidebar ### Folders that match the day Pick from Unassigned, work Mine, snooze what can wait, and close when you are done. Assigned and Spam stay out of the way until you need them. ### Many brands, one workspace Connect multiple inboxes under one team. Each mailbox keeps its own folders, saved replies, routing, SLA, and permissions so product lines and brands stay cleanly separated. Q: How is HelpWich different from sharing one mailbox password? A: A shared mailbox is built for one person. HelpWich gives your team folders (Unassigned, Mine, Assigned, Snoozed, Closed, Spam), a clear owner, collision awareness, notes that never email out, and a separate inbox per brand. Q: Can we run multiple brand inboxes in one workspace? A: Yes. Each mailbox keeps its own queues, saved replies, routing, SLA, signatures, and permissions so product lines don't collide. Q: What happens when two agents open the same conversation? A: Collision awareness shows when a teammate is already in the thread so you don't double-reply or overwrite each other's work. Q: Is the shared inbox included in the 7-day trial? A: Yes. The trial is a real HelpWich inbox with fair limits (one mailbox, 100 sends). Multi-mailbox and Plus tools unlock on a paid plan. ## Email channels Your real mailboxes. Fetched and sent reliably. Connect Gmail, Outlook, or your host so every customer email lands in HelpWich and every reply leaves from your brand address. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/email-channels - Connect Gmail, Outlook, or another host with a mailbox password. One-tap Google or Microsoft login is not ready. - Replies leave through the mailbox you connected, with proper threading headers. Platform mail (Postmark or SES) is for login and billing only. - Mailbox aliases, from-name modes, and per-inbox signatures - Business hours and auto-reply when you’re closed - DKIM / DMARC status visibility for outgoing trust - Forward a copy is receive-only when an operator turns it on. To reply, also connect the mailbox. - Per-mailbox connection health, last-fetched time, and clear error states ### Import what customers actually send HelpWich polls connected inboxes, threads replies onto the right conversation, stores attachments safely, and marks mail handled so nothing sits invisible in a provider UI. ### Send as the brand customers know Replies leave through the mailbox you connected. Signatures and aliases stay per inbox. Threading headers keep Gmail and Outlook conversations together. Q: How do we connect Gmail or Outlook? A: Pick Gmail or Outlook, then use a mailbox password (Google needs an app password). One-tap Google or Microsoft mailbox login is not ready. Replies leave from that same mailbox, not from HelpWich platform mail. Q: What if I already opened an email in Gmail before HelpWich fetched it? A: Fetch imports unseen mail and also scans recent INBOX messages, then skips anything already stored by Message-ID, so read-before-import mail still lands. Q: Can we use aliases and signatures per inbox? A: Yes. Configure aliases, from-name modes, and signatures per mailbox, plus business hours and auto-reply when you're closed. Q: Can we forward mail instead of connecting the mailbox? A: Forward a copy can be turned on by an operator. You will see incoming conversations. To reply from HelpWich, also connect the mailbox. Platform mail is not used for customer replies. ## Customer context Reply knowing who they are, and what they bought. The HelpWich sidebar keeps the customer next to the thread: who they are, what they wrote last time, and what they bought, so you do not hunt through old mail. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/customer-context - Customer profile beside every conversation, lifetime value, orders, and history - Orders and licenses from connected store apps (e.g. WooCommerce) - History that follows the person across conversations, not just one thread - Custom fields when your inbox needs structured answers - Tags and conversation metadata for routing and reports - Open the customer profile for a fuller history without leaving HelpWich ### Commerce next to the reply When a store app is connected, order and license context appears in the conversation sidebar so agents can answer “where’s my license?” without hunting through admin screens. ### Structured when you need it Tags and per-inbox custom fields capture the details reports and routing depend on, without forcing every conversation into a rigid form. Q: What customer data appears next to a conversation? A: Profile details, lifetime value, order counts, tags, custom fields, and, when a store app is connected, orders and licenses beside the thread. Q: Do you integrate with WooCommerce? A: Yes. Connect store apps from the marketplace so purchase and license context shows up where agents reply. Q: Can history follow a customer across conversations? A: Yes. Customer records unify history across threads so you see prior context, not just the current conversation. Q: Are custom fields available? A: Yes. Per-inbox custom fields are on Plus. Standard still has tags and the customer sidebar. ## Replies & notes Replies the customer gets. Notes they never see. Write in HelpWich: a rich reply, a private note, a saved reply with a shortcut, and variables that fill themselves in. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/replies-notes - Rich text replies with formatting, links, code, emoji, and HTML when you need it - Saved replies scoped to each inbox, with / shortcuts - Variables for customer, agent, mailbox, and subject - Internal notes for handoffs, never emailed by mistake - @mentions so teammates see the note that needs them - Attachments with workspace storage limits you control - Snooze, assign, and status after send so queues stay honest - Draft auto-save so a long reply isn’t lost on refresh ### Composer built for support days Switch Reply / Note, format once, attach files from upload or the workspace library, then send with the status and assignment that matches how your queue works. ### Macros without the clutter Saved replies and variables keep quality high without copy-paste drift. Notes stay internal so customers never see the handoff discussion. Q: Can internal notes be emailed to customers by mistake? A: No. Notes are internal-only. Replies and notes are separate modes in the composer so handoffs stay private. Q: Do saved replies support variables? A: Yes. Use variables for customer, agent, mailbox, and subject so macros stay accurate without copy-paste drift. Q: Can we attach files to replies? A: Yes. Upload new files or reuse workspace library attachments, within your plan's storage limits. Q: Can we set status or assign when sending? A: Yes. After send you can close, leave pending, assign, or snooze so the queue stays honest without extra clicks later. ## Routing & SLA Get the right person on it, on time. Workflows pick an owner. Plus inboxes can rotate leftover Unassigned mail. Reply and resolve clocks sit on the conversation. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/routing-sla - Rules by domain, subject, body, or mailbox - Round robin or balanced assignment for Unassigned mail - Skip teammates who are Away or at their assignment cap - Default assignee and status after reply per inbox - First-response and resolve due times on the conversation - Inbox timezone and closed days, including Tehran and Dubai - Pending pauses the clock until the customer writes back - Lightweight spam scoring so junk doesn't clog Unassigned - Configured per inbox so each brand stays independent ### Route once, then get out of the way Match inbound mail to the right owner with conditions that match real email. For everything else, turn on inbox routing so Unassigned drains to the next Active teammate. ### SLA you can coach from First-response and resolve targets sit on the conversation. Pair with inbox hours so overnight mail does not falsely burn the clock. Pending pauses both clocks until the customer writes back. Q: What can routing rules match on? A: Workflows match from-domain, subject, body, mailbox, and unassigned state, then assign a person, tags, or an SLA. Inbox routing separately hands leftover Unassigned mail by round robin or load. Q: How do SLAs work? A: Set first-response and optional resolve targets agents can see on conversations. The clock follows that inbox timezone and closed days. Pending pauses it. Turn hours off for a 24/7 VIP clock. Q: Can each inbox have its own routing and SLA? A: Yes. Routing, SLA, business hours, and auto-reply are configured per inbox so brands stay independent. Q: Do you detect spam? A: HelpWich includes lightweight spam scoring so junk is less likely to clog Unassigned. ## Docs & knowledge base Answers customers find before they email you. Publish a clean public help center with collections, SEO, FAQ rich snippets, and reader feedback, separate from the inbox, same workspace. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/docs - Public docs sites with your branding, colors, and custom CSS - Collections, categories, and rich article editing - FAQ JSON-LD for search engines - Redirects when you reorganize content - Translations for multilingual product audiences - Article ratings (“was this helpful?”) to find weak pages - Deflects repeat questions so the inbox stays focused ### Self-serve that looks like you Customize the public docs site so customers land on your brand, not a generic help theme, with collections that match how you ship products. ### Findable in Google, useful in practice FAQ rich snippets, redirects, and reader feedback help articles rank and improve over time while your team focuses on the conversations that need a human. Q: Is the docs site separate from the inbox? A: Yes, a public help center with its own branding, collections, and articles, managed in the same HelpWich workspace. Q: Does HelpWich help with SEO for help articles? A: Yes. Publish clean public pages and FAQ JSON-LD rich snippets so search engines can surface your answers. Q: Can we customize branding and CSS? A: Yes. Customize colors, branding, and custom CSS so the help center looks like your product, not a generic theme. Q: Do articles support translations and redirects? A: Yes. Translations and redirects help you serve multilingual audiences and keep links intact when you reorganize content. ## Teams & workflows Roles, teams, and workflows that stay out of the way. HelpWich matches how your team already hands off work: roles, teams, mailbox permissions, and workflows on new mail. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/teams-workflows - OWNER / ADMIN / AGENT roles with clear boundaries - Teams linked to the right people and inboxes - Mailbox permissions so freelancers stay in their lane - Workflows run once on new mail: assign, status, tags, fields, or an SLA - Notifications for new conversations and replies - Inbox routing and custom fields on Plus ### Access that matches the org chart Owners run billing and workspace settings. Admins shape inboxes and teams. Agents work conversations they’re allowed to see, including per-mailbox membership when you need strict isolation. ### Handoffs that stay in HelpWich Notes, assignments, snooze, and workflows keep the state on the conversation, so you always know who has the thread. Q: What roles does HelpWich support? A: OWNER, ADMIN, and AGENT, with clear boundaries for billing, settings, and day-to-day conversation work. Q: Can freelancers be limited to specific inboxes? A: Yes. Mailbox permissions and membership keep contractors in the inboxes they're hired for. Q: How do teammates get notified? A: Workspace notifications cover new conversations and replies so people see work that needs them. Q: Are workflows included? A: Yes. Workflows run once when new mail arrives. Inbox rotation for leftover Unassigned mail, and custom fields, are on Plus. ## CSAT & reports See the week, without a pressure dashboard. HelpWich shows volume, team load, first response, and optional ratings on close, enough to coach, not enough to hover. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/csat-reports - Optional CSAT surveys when conversations close (per inbox) - Helpful / not helpful feedback on docs articles - Conversation volume and team load at a glance - First-response trends for coaching - Workspace-level visibility for owners ### Happiness when it matters Turn on CSAT per inbox so closed conversations can ask for a quick rating, without nagging every touch. ### Reports that fit a product team See whether volume is climbing, who is carrying load, and whether first responses are slipping, enough signal to staff the week, not a BI project. Q: When are CSAT surveys sent? A: Optionally when a conversation closes, enabled per inbox so you can ask for a rating without nagging every touch. Q: What reports are available? A: Conversation volume, team load, and first-response trends, enough signal to staff the week without a BI project. Q: Do docs have feedback too? A: Yes. Article ratings (helpful / not helpful) help you find weak pages that create more email. Q: Who can see reports? A: Workspace-level visibility is available for owners and managers who need coaching signals. ## API & apps Connect the stack you already run. API keys, webhooks, and store apps so HelpWich sits beside the tools you already run. WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads are live. Shopify is listed, not connectable yet. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/api-apps - Workspace API keys for conversations and customers - Outbound webhooks for conversation and message events - Apps marketplace for commerce context (WooCommerce and more) - Store apps for orders and licenses. Conversation import comes later. - Built for product teams who already have a stack ### Extend without forking the inbox Use API keys and webhooks to sync customers, trigger internal tools, or mirror events into the ops systems you already trust. Slack as an inbox channel is not ready. ### Store apps for real answers Connect commerce apps so order and license data appear next to the thread, the difference between guessing and resolving. Q: Do you offer an API? A: Yes. Workspace API keys let you work with conversations and customers from your own tools. Q: What about webhooks? A: Outbound webhooks fire on events like conversation and message created so you can sync your own ops tools. Slack as a HelpWich channel is not ready. Q: Which apps are available? A: The apps marketplace includes commerce context apps such as WooCommerce, with more connections over time. Q: Can we import past conversations? A: WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads connect under Apps today. Conversation history import is not ready yet. ## Security Security that belongs next to customer mail. HelpWich protects the people who see customer email: sessions you can revoke, 2FA, passkeys, and roles with a clear audit trail. URL: https://helpwich.com/features/security - 2FA (authenticator / email codes) and WebAuthn passkeys - Device sessions with revoke, including the current session - Email verification and strong password rules - OWNER / ADMIN / AGENT roles across the workspace - Audit trail for important workspace actions - Safe attachment handling and HTML sanitization on inbound mail - Host isolation between marketing, app, and admin surfaces ### Account protection agents will actually use Passkeys and 2FA protect the people who see customer mail every day, with session lists you can clean when a laptop is lost. ### Defense in depth on the data path Inbound HTML is sanitized, uploads are checked, and sensitive actions leave an audit trail so owners can answer “who changed what?” Q: Do you support 2FA and passkeys? A: Yes. Authenticator apps, email codes, and WebAuthn passkeys protect the people who see customer mail every day. Q: Can we revoke sessions? A: Yes. View device sessions (IP, browser, OS) and revoke any session, including the one you're on. Q: How is inbound email kept safe? A: Inbound HTML is sanitized and uploads are checked so support content doesn't become an attack path. Q: Is there an audit trail? A: Important workspace actions and security-relevant events are recorded so owners can answer who changed what. ## Pricing Transparent HelpWich pricing for product support teams. 7-day trial with fair limits, then subscribe to stay unlocked. 14-day money-back on every paid plan.
