Frequently asked questions about eDesk
What is the 14-day free trial like?
When you start a free trial with eDesk, you have access to the most comprehensive plan including all add-ons. During the trial period, eDesk is in Safe Mode, meaning you can connect your channels and safely experiment without disrupting your existing support process. Messages are not stored or sent in Safe Mode, but you can disable it at any time to start replying to customers. No credit card is required to sign up for the free trial.
What happens to my data after the trial ends?
At the end of your eDesk trial, your data and setup remain intact, but you will no longer be able to use eDesk until you select a plan to purchase. You can log in to your account at any time after the trial and select a plan to continue using the platform with all your existing data and configurations.
Does AI Agent cost extra?
AI Agent is included in every plan. Your plan covers access to AI Agent, and automated resolutions are charged separately at €0.99 each. If no automated resolution occurs, there is no additional charge. This means you only pay for automated resolutions that actually happen.
What add-ons are available for eDesk?
eDesk offers three optional add-ons: AI Assist assists agents with suggested replies, tone adjustments, and faster reply drafting within every ticket; Translate removes language barriers with AI translations for bidirectional communication in any language; Feedback automates customer outreach for reviews on Google, Trustpilot, marketplaces, or your site and automatically turns interactions into more reviews and better ratings.
Can I change my plan after signing up?
Yes, you can make adjustments to your plan at any time. If you need to adjust the number of agents on your plan, contact your account manager or customer support and they will help you make adjustments. You can upgrade or downgrade, but note that refunds are not given for cancellations or downgrades and your account will be active until the next payment date.
