Adding Team Members to HelpKit



Collaborate with your entire support team by inviting members to your HelpKit workspace. Each member gets their own login with role-based access control.

Inviting Team Members



  • 1.Go to Settings → Team → Members
  • 2.Click + Invite Member
  • 3.Enter their email address
  • 4.Select their Role
  • 5.Optionally, assign them to specific Teams (e.g., Sales, Support, Billing)
  • 6.Click Send Invite


  • The invitee receives an email with a secure link to set their password and join the workspace.

    Available Roles



    | Role | Permissions | |------|-------------| | Owner | Full access, billing, delete workspace | | Admin | All settings, team management, no billing | | Supervisor | View all conversations, reports, manage agents | | Agent | Handle assigned conversations, limited settings | | Viewer | Read-only access to conversations and reports |

    Custom Roles (Business Plan)



    Create custom roles with granular permissions:
  • Go to Settings → Team → Roles → New Role
  • Toggle individual permissions: view contacts, send campaigns, access analytics, etc.


  • Managing Teams



    Group agents into teams for routing and reporting:
  • 1.Go to Settings → Team → Teams → New Team
  • 2.Name the team (e.g., "Tier 1 Support", "Sales India")
  • 3.Add team members
  • 4.Set working hours for this team
  • 5.Configure auto-assignment rules (round-robin, load balancing)


  • Deactivating a Member



    If a team member leaves:
  • 1.Go to Settings → Team → Members
  • 2.Find the member and click ⋮ → Deactivate
  • 3.Their open conversations will be reassigned to unassigned or a specific agent


  • Deactivated members lose all access immediately but their conversation history is preserved.
