Overview
HappyFox is a cloud help desk for customer support and internal service teams. It centralizes requests as tickets and provides configurable queues, service levels, self-service resources, automation, and reporting.
Organizations can connect the service to tools such as Jira, Slack, Shopify, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce. HappyFox also documents a REST API and dedicated agent apps for iOS and Android.
Buyers should distinguish the per-agent plans from flat-price unlimited-agent plans, which still have annual ticket allowances. AI, Workflows, Web Messaging, and BI are separately priced products.
