Email to KBase and Create Knowledge on the Fly
You know a shared knowledge base across all the agents in your team would be invaluable to your support. But keeping your knowledge base consistent and updated round-the-clock can be quite a struggle. Freshdesk provides an elegant solution to this problem with the “Email to KBase” capability. Agents can directly send an email to to a specific address and have it automatically converted into a knowledge base article.
See how Freshdesk captures your "serendipitous" moments into Knowledge.
Update your Knowledge base on the Fly From “overwhelmed with tickets” to “zero inbox”. Stay in control, everytime...
Eliminate guesswork with a separate knowledge base
Your forums are where your customers ask questions and discuss problems amongst each other and your agents. Your knowledge base is the definitive source for accepted solutions and workarounds. In Freshdesk, your knowledge base is independent of your forums. That way, both your agents and your customers know where to get the last word in their solutions from.
Check out how you can maintain an up-to-date knowledge repository with Freshdesk.
The Knowledge Base : Solution Articles

See how you can keep track of time spent on every ticket.
Promise and prove customer service levels
Customers demand the service levels that your support promises. With Freshdesk you can setup SLAs that tie what you promise to what you deliver.

Get the supervisor to run periodic checks
The supervisor in Freshdesk periodically checks your recent tickets and performs time-based activities. For example you might want to send a reminder to a customer if a “resolved” ticket has not been closed for over a day. The supervisor saves you time, effort and SLA violations by sending you reminders, escalating tickets and performing any other time triggered activity on a ticket.
