how it plays out

From Helpdesk Intake to Engineer Handoff

Example helpdesk workflows for MSPs and IT service teams. Your technical owners set troubleshooting instructions, incident priorities, access approvals, and escalation coverage.

Email English

"None of our team can access the shared drive this morning"

Multi-user access failure reported by office manager

Record the client, affected service, user count, and start time in the configured outage ticket fields.
Record error messages and check the incident updates available to support.
Follow the approved intake runbook and route the multi-user outage by priority.
Relay the engineer’s status update and keep the ticket linked to the incident.

Outage context captured Example workflow

Phone Korean

"Our VPN keeps disconnecting during video calls"

Recurring connectivity issue for remote team

Capture device details, VPN application, disconnect times, and business impact.
Ask the questions in the client’s connectivity troubleshooting guide.
Document the results and send unresolved issues to the responsible engineer.
Arrange the agreed follow-up and record whether the user reports improvement.

Engineer receives troubleshooting notes Example workflow

Give an Outage Ticket More Than an Urgent Label

For an IT service desk, configure HeroDash fields for client account, affected service, number of users affected, start time, and reported impact. A shared-drive outage affecting an office should be distinguishable from one person’s VPN question.

Route requests to the configured support group using ticket fields and tags. Include the troubleshooting steps already tried in the handoff, so the engineer can decide what to investigate next. The proposed workflow covers ticket handling, not administrator access to the client’s systems.

HeroDash ticket triggers can update priority, add notes, and send email notifications when configured conditions are met. Timed automations run on an hourly scan; use the client’s designated immediate escalation route for urgent outages rather than relying on a timed reminder.

what comes off the call

What an Engineer Needs in the Ticket

Agree these details with your team before coverage begins so the next person can act on the request.

Client account and authorized requester
Affected service, device, or application
Number of users affected and business impact

Error message, start time, and steps already tried
Relevant ticket or incident reference
Priority rules, engineer coverage, and security-reporting route

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Does answering support replace our engineers?

It handles intake, approved guidance, and communication. Your engineers own diagnosis and remediation; your administrators approve and perform privileged system changes.

How are urgent outages handled?

Define impact criteria, the on-call contact, and the fallback route before coverage starts. Support records the affected users and service, escalates under those rules, and relays the technical team’s updates.
