Integrating Zoho Assist with Zoho SalesIQ

Integrating Zoho Assist with Zoho SalesIQ

Overview

What is Zoho Assist?

Zoho Assist is a cloud-based remote support and remote access software that helps you support customers from a distance through web-based, on-demand remote support sessions. You can remotely access and manage remote PCs, laptops, mobile devices, and servers effortlessly. A few seconds is all you need to establish secure connections to offer your customers remote support solutions.

Zoho Assist in SalesIQ:

  1. Support each-and-every interaction your team has with customers by providing on-demand customer support through remote assistance and screen sharing in the live chat window.
  2. Integrate Zoho SalesIQ with Zoho Assist to request your visitors for a remote assistance session, take control of their screen, and fix the issues in seconds. 
  3. Not just this, the administrator can decide about which operators can avail the remote assistance option in their chat window. For example, when a website owner purchases 10 licenses in Zoho SalesIQ and 5 licenses in Zoho Assist, he can  choose the five operators who require Zoho Assist and manually provide them the screen share and remote assistance features while conversing with the visitors through live chat.

Points to remember:

Please check the list below if you face any errors with the screen sharing session:
  1. Free Zoho Assist Users: If you are a portal owner in both Zoho SalesIQ and Zoho Assist, then you will not have any session restrictions. If you are an associate, then you are allowed to initiate one session per day.
  2. Paid Zoho Assist Users: The sessions for the other plan users depends on their Zoho Assist plan.
  3. In Zoho Assist, you cannot have accounts in two different organisations. If you are already a member of a portal, and if a portal owner of another org tries to include you in a different portal, then you will be excluded automatically while initiating the sync. The portal owner should send you a private invite to add you to the portal and then you will be removed from the previous portal and synced with the requested portal.

You can view the list of operators that have remote access privileges in this section.



To add an operator, click on the Add option. A list of all the operators in your organization will be listed and you can choose the operator of your choice.

  2. This will take the visitor to the Zoho assist page to download a file.
Note:
The downloadable is just an application that connects the operator's and the customer's machines. The connection will be removed once the remote session ends, and doesn't transmit or impact the access/data available in the customer machine. The customer can delete the downloadable immediately after the remote session. 
  1. When the download is complete, the visitor should run the Join file.
