Supportcandy Knowledgebase Integrations

SupportCandy Knowledgebase Integrations is a documentation and customer self-service extension designed for the SupportCandy WordPress helpdesk system. Built to reduce incoming support volume and empower users to find answers instantly, it bridges your helpdesk submission form with leading WordPress knowledge base plugins (such as BetterDocs, Echo Knowledge Base, or native WP documentation posts). When a customer begins typing a ticket subject or inquiry in the submission form, the integration dynamically searches your published knowledge base articles and displays instant, relevant solutions. If the article solves their issue, ticket creation is deflected; if not, the user can proceed to submit a ticket with full contextual reference to the articles they already reviewed.

Main Features

• Instant ticket deflection & search — Real-time keyword search that displays suggested knowledge base articles as users type their support inquiry.
• Multi-plugin KB compatibility — Native integration support for popular WordPress knowledge base solutions (e.g., BetterDocs, Echo Knowledge Base) and standard WordPress posts/custom post types.
• Contextual article logging — Automatically records which knowledge base articles a customer viewed or clicked before submitting their ticket, giving agents immediate context.
• Customizable suggestion widget — Adjust suggestion trigger lengths, search delay intervals, maximum article counts, and display layouts.
• Agent knowledge base insertion — Allows support agents to quickly search, link, and insert knowledge base article URLs into ticket replies with a single click.
• Deflection analytics & reporting — Track how many potential tickets were successfully deflected by suggested self-service articles over custom date ranges.
• Role-based visibility controls — Restrict knowledge base article suggestions or search permissions based on user roles and membership tiers.
• Responsive mobile layout — Clean, touch-optimized suggestion dropdowns that function smoothly on smartphones and tablets.
