Features

Everything your support team needs.

A shared inbox with assignment, SLAs, CSAT, saved replies, contact history, and a Help Center — wrapped in one script tag.

Shared agent inbox

Every conversation in one place, with live two-way chat. Your whole team works the queue together — no message slips through.

Assignment & auto-routing

New chats route to the right agent automatically, or assign in one click. Everyone sees what's theirs.

Tags, priority & snooze

Organize the queue your way. Tag by topic, raise the priority of what's urgent, and snooze what can wait.

File attachments

Customers and agents share PDFs and images right in the conversation — screenshots, receipts, labels, whatever it takes to resolve it.

SLA & first-response targets

Set a reply-time target; the inbox shows how long each customer has waited and flags the conversations past it.

Saved replies & macros

Answer common questions in a couple of keystrokes. Drop in a canned response, tweak it, and send — fast and consistent.

AI auto-replyPro

Answer common first-touch questions instantly, then hand off to an agent when a human is needed. Customers never wait on the easy ones.

Internal notes & @mentions

Leave private notes on a conversation and @mention a teammate to pull them in. The customer only ever sees the public replies.

CSAT ratings

A post-chat rating lets customers score each conversation. See the average and the breakdown for the last 7, 30 or 90 days.

Contact profiles & history

Every customer gets a profile with custom attributes and their full cross-conversation history — so agents have context from the first reply.

Help Center & self-serve

Publish a knowledge base of articles that surface right inside the widget, so customers find answers themselves — and your queue stays shorter.

Outbound campaigns

Reach out proactively — broadcast a targeted message to a segment of contacts to announce a launch, follow up after a purchase, or recover a cart.

How it works

Live in three steps.

From signup to first message in under a minute.

MCP-first

Run your support from Claude, ChatGPT or any AI agent.

HelpBird has a built-in MCP server. Connect your AI assistant once, then just ask: answer the customers waiting on shipping, turn this week's questions into help-center articles, set up the chat on your site. It works as you, through the same checks as the admin panel.

  • Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code — or any MCP client.
  • You sign in and click Allow; disconnect any app from Settings.
  • Replies, campaigns and deletes show you a preview and wait for your yes.
For agents & team leads

Routing, SLAs, and the tools your team runs on.

Everything you need to run a busy support queue — and the notifications to keep the whole team in the loop.

SLA & breach tracking

A reply-time target on every conversation. The inbox flags the ones past it, and you get an email (and Slack) alert when one breaches.

Business hours & away mode

Set your hours; outside them the widget switches to away mode and sets expectations in your own words.

Agents & presence

Each agent gets their own login. Presence shows who's active now, and auto-assignment hands new chats to someone online.

Slack notifications

New conversations and replies post to the channel you choose, so your team can jump in without watching the inbox all day.

Never miss a chat

A sound in the open inbox when a customer writes, an email the moment a conversation starts, or a post in your Slack channel.

CSAT & reporting

Post-chat ratings, first-reply times and per-agent numbers in one view — so you can see how your team is doing at a glance.

Works everywhere

On Shopify, Wix or WordPress? Drop in one snippet.

No developer, no plugin to wait on — paste one line into your site (or install the Shopify app) and live chat appears on every page. Match it to your brand in a few clicks.

FAQ

Common questions

Can't find what you need? Get in touch.

How long does it take to install?

Under a minute. Sign up, copy the snippet from the Install tab, paste it inside your site's <head>. It works the same on Shopify, Wix and WordPress.

Will the chat slow down my page?

No. The script tag loads async and the chat renders inside an iframe, so it never blocks your page. The loader is about 4 KB gzipped, and the chat loads once your page is idle.

Do visitors need an account to start a conversation?

No. Visitors open the widget and start chatting right away — no sign-up, no login. We capture their name and email when you ask for it, build a contact profile, and keep the full history so the next conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Can I route a conversation to specific agents?

Yes. New conversations land in the shared inbox and can auto-route to the right agent, or you can assign and reassign manually in one click. Each agent sees what's assigned to them, and presence shows who's active now so you never hand a chat to someone who's offline.

Can my team collaborate without the customer seeing?

Yes. Internal notes are private to your team — leave a note, @mention a teammate, and they're pulled in to help. The customer only ever sees the public replies.

Is there an SLA view?

Yes. Set a reply-time target and the inbox tracks every conversation against it — a Breaching SLA filter lists the ones past it, and you get an email (and Slack) alert when one breaches.

Can I reuse answers I send all the time?

Yes. Saved replies (macros) let you insert a canned response in a couple of keystrokes, so common questions get a fast, consistent answer. Edit before you send whenever you need to personalize.

How do I measure how happy customers are?

A post-chat CSAT rating lets customers score the conversation the moment it wraps. Each conversation shows its score, and Analytics (Pro) has the average and breakdown, overall and per agent.

Can customers help themselves without waiting?

Yes. Publish a Help Center of self-serve articles that surface right inside the widget, so customers find answers before they ever open a conversation. You can also turn on AI auto-reply to answer common first-touch questions instantly and hand off to an agent when needed.

Can I get notified in Slack when a chat comes in?

Yes. HelpBird posts new customer messages and SLA breaches to the channel you choose, so your team can jump in without watching the inbox all day. Set it up in Settings → Notifications. See the docs →

Can I reach out to customers proactively?

Yes. Outbound campaigns let you send a message to all your contacts or those with a tag — announce a launch, or follow up after a purchase — straight into the same chat your customers already use.

Can multiple agents work the inbox together?

Yes. The inbox is shared — every agent gets their own login, sees assignments and presence, and works conversations side by side. Tags, priority, and snooze keep the queue organized as it grows.

What happens outside business hours?

Set your business hours and the widget switches to away mode after close, setting expectations and capturing the message so an agent can follow up. Customers can still self-serve through the Help Center anytime.

Can I use HelpBird from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. HelpBird has a built-in MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP client can read and answer conversations, write help-center articles and change settings for you — after you sign in and click Allow. How to connect →

What happens after my trial ends?

Your inbox keeps working. You'll see a friendly nudge in the admin panel when it's time to pick a plan. No automatic charges — we never store your card unless you explicitly subscribe.

No credit card. Cancel anytime. Just a script tag away from your first supported customer.
