OneDesk for Education

Schools, districts, and universities use OneDesk to handle their education support and project management. You can streamline requests from staff, students, and parents, while planning your administrative and academic projects — all from one app.

Better shared inbox email management

Despite the common use of email support in educational institutions, a traditional shared inbox is difficult to manage. Connect your support email to OneDesk. With OneDesk it’s easier to stay organized, resolve inquiries, and collaborate. Sort and assign incoming emails automatically by team, priority, request type, and more. Easily filter, group, and track information on configurable dashboard work views

Make support easy with live chat

Respond in real-time and provide modern and efficient support. Live chat for educational institutions allows your department to take support management to the next level. Parents or students can reach out on the live chat right from your website. While your department can receive and reply to live messages from OneDesk. Tickets can even be made from live chat conversations. When a ticket is created from live chat the conversation history is maintained and attached to the ticket.

Keep everyone informed with an education knowledge base

OneDesk’s support software includes a knowledge base perfect for educational institutions. Write articles on admissions, courses, procedures, or anything else. The knowledge base is searchable, allowing end users to easily find the information they need. A knowledge base can reduce the amount of questions your school or district receives. 

Save time with the power of AI

Enable Odie the AI Agent to handle your live chat, generate replies, and deflect tickets. Your AI agent is personalized to your company, because it learns and bases its answers on your knowledge base articles, previous human replies, web pages or canned responses. 

Support management forms for education

Take in questions, inquiries, and requests using webforms. Webforms can be configured with custom fields. You can have multiple webforms for different types of requests. You can also make certain fields required, ensuring end-users fill in all the necessary information when submitting a request. Of course, all requests are received in OneDesk where you can respond and work.
