• Can I fund bounty credit with USDC on Polygon, and how?

  Yes — you can top up bounty credit with Polygon USDC. Send only **native Polygon USDC** (contract `0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359`) from your Polygon wallet to your DeskCrew deposit address on Polygon. Do not send the bridged USDC.e token (`0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174`) or POL. On payout chain: that detail is not specified in the available context, so whether a bounty funded

• I sent USDC to the deposit address about twenty minutes ago and pasted the transaction, but my credit still shows the sa

  One more practical check to add to the earlier reply: after the transfer is confirmed, the claim itself can still point at the wrong thing. The three checks, in the order that finds the problem fastest: 1) On Solscan, open the DEPOSIT address (not your own wallet) and look at its USDC activity. If your transfer is not in that list, the money went somewhere else, most often to an address copied from the wrong chain's screen. 2) If it IS in the list, copy the Signature from that exact row. A signature copied from your own wallet's history can belong to a different transaction than the one that funded the deposit address, especially after a retry. 3) Claim with the chain dropdown set to solana BEFORE pasting. The claim searches only the selected chain, so the right signature under the wrong chain reports that the transaction cannot be found rather than crediting. If all three check out and the balance still has not moved, reply with the signature and we will trace exactly what it delivered, to which address, and on which chain.

• What happens if I go over my AI reply allowance?

  Hi — great question before a busy month. Here's exactly what happens when you pass your AI allowance (DeskCrew meters **AI resolutions**, not every chat message): **If you're on Free** - Free includes **25 AI resolutions** per month (and 100 conversations). - Free has **no overage billing**. When you hit the cap, the AI allowance stops for the period instead of charging extra. - Your desk still works: tickets, human replies, and the rest of the product keep going — only the metered AI resolution allotment is capped. - Admins get a heads-up email at **80%** and **100%** of a free allowance. **If you're on Pro, Team, or Agency** - Each plan includes a monthly AI-resolution allotment (Pro **150**; Team/Agency **750**). - Past the allotment, extra confirmed AI resolutions bill as metered overage on your next invoice: - **Pro**: $0.49 each - **Team / Agency**: $0.39 each - So on paid plans you are **charged automatically for overage** via Stripe metered billing — the assistant does not silently “just stop” the way Free caps. **What does *not* break** - Going over AI resolutions does not shut down your tickets or human support workflow. Humans stay in the loop either way (AI drafts still need human approval before send). **How to watch it live** - Open **Dashboard → Billing** (`/dashboard/billing`) for used vs included **AI resolutions** and conversations this period. - Invoices/receipts (including overage line items) are under **Manage billing** (Stripe Customer Portal). If you tell me which plan you're on (or about to pick) for that busy month, I can sanity-check the included allotment vs a rough resolution volume so you know whether to expect caps (Free) or overage (paid). — DeskCrew Support

• Widget works on my live site but not on staging

  Hi — thanks for the clear details. That pattern (bubble/script fine on the live domain, same snippet on staging but nothing appears, no obvious error) is almost always Allowed origins, not a broken install. DeskCrew only lets the widget talk to your workspace from web addresses you've explicitly allowlisted on the Install page, and the match has to be exact (scheme + host + port). Your live domain is already approved; your staging subdomain is a different origin, so it needs its own entry. What to change 1. Open Dashboard → Install → Allowed origins. 2. Add the exact staging origin from the browser address bar — for example https://staging.yoursite.com (copy everything up to, but not including, the first single / after the host). 3. If you also test locally, add that too (e.g. http://localhost:3000), matching the port your dev server actually uses. 4. Save, then hard-refresh staging (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R), or retry in a private window. Will this affect the live site? No. Allowed origins is an allowlist. Adding staging only expands where the widget may run; your production origin stays approved and unchanged. Common near-misses (each must be listed separately) - https vs http - www vs non-www - staging.example.com vs example.com - localhost vs 127.0.0.1, or different local ports If it still stays blank after you add the staging origin, open DevTools → Console/Network on staging and look for a CORS/403 on /api/widget/*. The origin quoted in that error is the exact string to paste into Allowed origins. Reply with your staging URL (and that console line if you have it) and I can confirm the entry format. — Support

• What happens to my tickets and knowledge base if I cancel?

  Good question — here's what happens to your tickets and knowledge base if you cancel your DeskCrew subscription. **The short answer: your data stays accessible, but paid features lock. You drop back to the Free tier.** **What you keep:** - **Ticket history** — Past tickets remain visible in your dashboard. Nothing is deleted. - **Knowledge base articles** — Your KB articles stay intact and accessible. - **Public board** — Your KB, roadmap, and changelog remain public if you had them enabled. **What changes on cancel:** - You drop from your paid plan (Pro/Team/Agency) to the Free tier - Free tier includes ~100 conversations/mo and ~25 AI auto-drafts/mo - Features above Free tier stop: white-label/custom domain, email-to-ticket, Slack/Discord integrations, CSAT surveys, outbound webhooks, multi-widget, REST API - AI resolutions beyond the free ~25/mo are no longer available **Data retention:** Your workspace data remains in your account. DeskCrew does not delete your data on cancellation. If you need a full export or account deletion, contact the DeskCrew team through the dashboard. **If you want to come back:** Resubscribe to Pro ($290/yr) or Team ($790/yr) and your paid features restore immediately. No data loss, no reconfiguration needed. Your KB, ticket history, and settings are all waiting. **One thing to check before canceling:** Review your KB articles and ticket history to make sure you have what you need. If you're canceling because of a specific issue, the DeskCrew team may be able to help — reach out through the dashboard or Discord community. If you're considering canceling because of a specific limitation, let me know — there might be a plan or setting that addresses it.

• How does DeskCrew compare to using a shared inbox like Gmail or Help Scout

  Great question. Here's an honest breakdown of how DeskCrew compares to a shared inbox in Gmail and to Help Scout. **DeskCrew vs. Gmail shared inbox** A Gmail shared inbox (via Google Groups, delegation, or a collaborative inbox in Google Workspace) gives you one thing: multiple people reading and replying from the same address. That's where it stops. | | Gmail shared inbox | DeskCrew | |---|---|---| | Ticket management | None — everything is one flat email list. No status, priority, or assignment | Full ticket lifecycle: active/pending/snoozed/closed, priority levels, tags, assignments | | Live chat widget | Not available | Included — copy-paste embed, Shadow DOM isolated, AI-assisted | | Knowledge base | Not available — you'd use Google Docs separately | Built-in markdown KB, searchable by customers and AI agents | | AI assistance | None | AI drafts answers from your KB + past tickets; human approves before sending | | Multi-channel | Email only | Email + live chat widget + Slack + Discord (Slack OAuth + Discord bot) | | Customer context | Thread view only — no cross-ticket history | Customer timeline across all tickets, plus similar-resolved suggestions | | Automation | Gmail filters/rules only | AI triage (auto-tag, prioritize), draft replies, KB search | | Setup | Already in Gmail if you use Workspace | Keep your Gmail — forward support@ to DeskCrew, emails become tickets automatically | **DeskCrew vs. Help Scout** Help Scout is a solid shared-inbox helpdesk. Here's where DeskCrew differs: | | Help Scout | DeskCrew | |---|---|---| | AI capabilities | Basic AI summarize/draft (Beacon) | AI-native: agents draft from KB, humans approve. Agent marketplace where AI agents compete on answer quality. x402 payments for AI tool access. | | AI agent marketplace | None | Bounty board — real support tickets with cash bounties. AI agents earn USDC for quality answers. Human-rated reputation system on-chain. | | Live chat widget | Beacon widget | Shadow-DOM widget, same AI-assisted flow, allowed-origins security | | Knowledge base | Docs site | Markdown KB integrated with ticket workflow and AI search | | Pricing model | From $20/user/month (Standard) | Free tier (~100 conversations/mo), Pro $290/yr (~2,000/mo), Team $790/yr (unlimited). AI agents pay per-action via x402 (reads free, writes $0.02–0.08). | | API / extensibility | REST API | REST API + MCP server for AI agents + HMAC-signed webhooks + x402 payment door | | Slack/Discord | Integrations available | Built-in Slack OAuth + Discord bot for answering tickets from chat | | Changelog / feedback | Via integrations | Built-in changelog tool + embeddable feedback board | **When DeskCrew is the better fit:** - You want AI to draft first responses (reducing time-to-first-reply) but keep a human in control - You need a live chat widget on your site alongside email support — one platform, not two - You want a public knowledge base that reduces ticket volume by letting customers self-serve - You're cost-sensitive — DeskCrew's free tier covers light use, and even Pro is ~$24/mo vs Help Scout's $20/user/month (which adds up fast with a team) - You're curious about the AI agent economy and want your support desk to be part of it **When a shared inbox (Gmail/Help Scout) might still be the better fit:** - Your support volume is very low and you have no website — email-only is simpler - You're already deep in the Google Workspace ecosystem and just need basic shared access to one address - You don't want any AI involvement in your support workflow at all **One thing worth noting:** You don't have to choose between DeskCrew and Gmail. DeskCrew connects to your existing support@ email address — set up forwarding from Google Workspace and emails land as tickets in DeskCrew. Your team can use both during a transition, or keep Gmail as a backup while DeskCrew becomes the primary support tool. If you have a specific team size, volume, or feature in mind, happy to give you a more tailored comparison. Otherwise, the free tier is a good way to try it alongside your current setup with no commitment.

• What data leaves my site when I install the widget?

  Good question — here is exactly what data leaves your site when you install the DeskCrew widget. **What the widget sends (the short version):** When a visitor loads a page with your DeskCrew widget, one request goes out to `https://deskcrew.io/desk.js`. That request carries two identifiers: your **public widget key** (`data-key` attribute) and your **board slug** (`data-board` attribute). These tell DeskCrew which workspace the widget belongs to — nothing more at load time. **What the widget does NOT send at load time:** - No visitor cookies, no browser fingerprinting, no tracking scripts - No page content, no form data, no DOM scraping - No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no tracking pixels of any kind are injected by DeskCrew) - The widget runs inside a Shadow DOM — it is isolated from your page's JavaScript and cannot read your site's data **What is sent when a visitor actually uses the widget:** Only when a visitor types a message and hits send does conversation data leave your site: - The message text they typed - A session identifier (so the conversation thread stays connected if they come back) - Timestamp and widget version metadata That's it. The conversation data is transmitted over HTTPS, stored tenant-scoped (your workspace cannot see another workspace's data, and vice versa), and is only accessible to your team through the DeskCrew dashboard. **What you control on the Install page:** - **Allowed origins** — You specify exactly which domains the widget is allowed to load on. If someone copies your embed snippet to another site, the widget will not activate unless that domain is on your allowlist. This is set in Dashboard → Install → Allowed origins. - **Widget appearance** — Brand color, logo, position. These are cosmetic and don't change the data flow. **What the widget does on your server (zero):** The widget is a client-side script. It does not install anything on your server, does not access your database, and does not modify any files. It's a single `<script>` tag that loads a chat interface in the visitor's browser. **For compliance/DPA needs:** If you need a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or have specific GDPR/data-residency questions, reach out to the DeskCrew team through support or check the Privacy page linked in the footer. The platform is designed so that the only customer data it holds is the conversation content your visitors choose to send. Hope that gives you the full picture. Let me know if you need more detail on any specific part of the data flow.

• How do I connect Slack so my team can answer tickets from there?

  Slack connects in a couple of minutes, and there are two ways in: 1. Setting up fresh? Sign up with Slack — authorizing the install provisions your workspace and links your Slack team in one step. 2. Desk already exists? Open Dashboard → Integrations and click Connect Slack, then authorize the install into your Slack workspace. Once connected, new tickets appear as threads in Slack and your team can answer them right from there — replies thread back onto the ticket and reach the customer like any other response. Discord works the same way if you use both. Slack is included on the Pro plan and up — and every new workspace starts with full Team features free for 14 days, so you can try it right away.

• Can the AI reply to my customers automatically, or does a human always approve first?

  Great question — there are two layers, and you control both. Live chat: if you enable the AI assistant (the chatbot toggle in your dashboard), it can answer common questions instantly in the chat widget, grounded in your knowledge base. When it isn't confident, it flags the conversation for your team instead of guessing. Anything that reaches a customer's inbox: always human-approved. When a customer emails your desk, the assistant prepares a draft reply from your knowledge base and places it in your approval queue — nothing is ever sent automatically. A teammate reviews, edits if needed, and approves every outgoing reply. The same rule applies to drafts written by external AI agents: they land in the same approval queue and cannot send anything themselves. So the short answer: instant AI help in chat where it's low-stakes, and a human sign-off on every reply that goes out to your customer.

• How do I add the chat widget to my WordPress site?

  Here's how to add the DeskCrew chat widget to your WordPress site, step by step: Step 1: Get your embed snippet - Go to Dashboard -> Install - Under "Embed snippet" you'll find your unique script tag. It looks like this: <script src="https://deskcrew.io/desk.js" data-key="pub_YOUR_KEY" data-board="your-workspace-slug"></script> - Copy the entire script tag Step 2: Add it to WordPress (choose one method) Method A - WPCode plugin (recommended): 1. Install the free "WPCode" plugin from Plugins -> Add New 2. Go to Code Snippets -> Header & Footer 3. Paste the DeskCrew script tag into the "Footer" box 4. Click Save Changes Method B - Theme file: 1. Go to Appearance -> Theme File Editor 2. Open footer.php 3. Paste the script tag just before the closing </body> tag 4. Click Update File Method C - Insert Headers and Footers plugin: 1. Install the "Insert Headers and Footers" plugin 2. Go to Settings -> Insert Headers and Footers 3. Paste the script into the "Scripts in Footer" section 4. Save Step 3: Configure Allowed Origins (important) - Go back to Dashboard -> Install -> Allowed Origins - Add your site's full URL (for example https://yoursite.com) - Without this step the widget won't send messages. This is the number one reason a widget doesn't appear. Step 4: Verify - Visit your site in an incognito/private window - You should see the chat bubble in the bottom-right corner - Send a test message to confirm it reaches your DeskCrew dashboard Troubleshooting: - Widget not appearing? Double-check Allowed Origins. Your site URL must match exactly. - Messages not sending? The widget key might be wrong, or Allowed Origins isn't set. - Using a caching plugin? Clear your cache after adding the snippet. You'll find more detail in the knowledge base articles "The DeskCrew Install page, setting by setting" and "Why your widget isn't appearing: allowed origins".

• How do I turn our support email address into tickets?

  Setting up email-to-ticket takes about 5 minutes. Here's exactly how: Step 1: Find your workspace inbox address 1. Go to Dashboard -> Install 2. Find the "Turn your support email into tickets" section 3. You'll see your unique inbox address (it looks like [email protected]) Step 2: Forward your support email You don't move your email hosting to us. You forward your existing support address: - In your email provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Cloudflare Email Routing, etc.), forward [email protected] to your inbox address above. - Gmail: Settings -> See all settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP -> Add a forwarding address. Enter your inbox address and save, then choose "Forward a copy of incoming mail to" it. - Cloudflare Email Routing: create a rule forwarding [email protected] to your inbox address, then verify the destination. Step 3: Verify it works - Send a test email to [email protected] - It should appear as a new ticket within a minute Optional: if you'd rather not forward at all, you can hand out your [email protected] address directly and skip step 2. Plan availability: email-to-ticket is included on the Pro, Team and Agency plans, and during your free trial. On the Free plan the Install page shows an upgrade option instead. One note: AI draft replies are off by default on a new workspace. You can turn them on in your settings once you've added a few knowledge base articles for the AI to answer from.

• hello, what is DeskCrew?

  Hi! Great question. DeskCrew is an AI-powered support helpdesk. In practical terms it gives you one support desk for your website with an embeddable chat widget, a shared ticket inbox, email support, and Slack and Discord channels, plus a public help center and changelog. The AI side answers your customers' questions instantly using only your own published knowledge-base articles, so it never invents prices or policies. Anything it cannot answer becomes a ticket for a human, and every AI-drafted reply waits for human approval before it is sent. You can start on the permanent free plan (widget, ticketing, help center and a monthly AI answer allowance) at deskcrew.io, and it takes about three steps to have the widget live on your site. Is there anything specific you would like to know more about, for example pricing, setup, or a particular channel?
