Blueprint

BoldDesk Managed Support Launch (7-10 days)

Stand up a client's BoldDesk instance across email, chat, and social channels, tune the AI agent and knowledge base for auto-resolution, then hand over a documented managed support retainer.

Prerequisites
  • Signed client agreement covering channel scope (email, live chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, SMS) and CSAT targets
  • Admin access to the client's email domain, social business accounts, and any existing help desk export
  • Inventory of the client's top 30 recurring inquiries and current canned responses for AI agent training
  • BoldDesk plan selected against expected AI credit volume: Scale AI at $116/month (500 credits), Momentum AI at $587/month (1,000 credits), or Enterprise AI at $1175/month (2,500 credits)
  • Named client-side support lead available for a 60-minute admin walkthrough and sign-off
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the client's BoldDesk account and confirm the plan tier matches the AI credit ceiling the client actually needs
  • 2.Map the client's existing support channels and decide which of email, live chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and SMS go live in phase one
  • 1.Connect the email channel and verify inbound mail lands in the unified ticket queue
  • 2.Install web widgets and forms on the client's site so chat and contact submissions route into BoldDesk
  • 1.Link social and messaging channels (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, SMS) where the plan tier supports them
  • 2.Confirm every channel produces a single ticket thread rather than duplicate records
  • 1.Build no-code workflow automation for routing, escalations, and follow-ups
  • 2.Configure auto-assignment rules and multiple SLAs with escalation paths on the Momentum AI tier or above
  • 1.Draft the knowledge base from the client's top 30 inquiries, targeting the self-service articles the AI agent will draw on
  • 2.Load canned responses and AI auto-reply rules for the ten highest-volume scenarios
  • 1.Train the AI agent on the knowledge base and review its draft resolutions against real historical tickets
  • 2.Set the human-handoff threshold so low-confidence inquiries reach a person instead of auto-closing
  • 1.Enable CSAT surveys and confirm the real-time dashboard tracks CSAT and agent performance
  • 2.Run a parallel test week plan: route live traffic while the agency reviews every AI-resolved ticket
  • 1.Tune AI credit consumption against the plan allowance and flag any inquiry class burning credits without resolution
  • 2.Document escalation rules and the credit top-up process for the client
  • 1.Deliver admin training on ticket management, the AI copilot reply drafts, and dashboard review
  • 2.Hand over the runbook covering channel ownership, SLA definitions, and knowledge base update cadence
  • 1.Present the first-week resolution and CSAT readout from the BoldDesk dashboard
  • 2.Agree the monthly retainer scope: knowledge base upkeep, automation tuning, and credit monitoring

ROI Logic

A client on Momentum AI costs $587/month ($499 annual) and covers unlimited human agents with 1,000 AI credits, so the agency's platform cost stays fixed while the retainer scales with ticket volume. Pairing that recurring fee with a $2,500 setup engagement means the build is paid for in the first month, and every hour after that is margin on knowledge base upkeep and automation tuning rather than per-seat resale.

Deliverables
  • Configured BoldDesk instance with email, chat, and social channels unified into one ticket queue
  • Knowledge base of client FAQs plus canned responses and AI auto-reply rules for the top ten scenarios
  • Workflow automation set covering routing, auto-assignment, SLAs, and escalation paths
  • CSAT and agent performance dashboard baseline with a documented AI credit consumption report
  • Client admin runbook and training recording covering ticket management, AI copilot drafts, and knowledge base updates
Definition of Done

The client's BoldDesk instance is resolving live inquiries across every contracted channel with the AI agent handling a measured share of volume, CSAT visible on the dashboard, and the client's own staff able to manage tickets without agency intervention.
