So you go digging. Out of the inbox, into WP admin, search BuddyBoss, find the profile, scan their groups and recent activity, then back to the ticket to remember what they even asked. Do that on every conversation and it adds up fast. Most days there isn't time, so you skip it and send something generic. For a membership business, generic is the wrong note to hit.

The root of it is simple enough: your community data lives in one place and your support happens in another. Your agents have been bridging that gap by hand, one ticket at a time.

Today we're introducing the BuddyBoss Integration for Heroic Inbox. Open a ticket and the sender's community profile is already there in the sidebar, so your team can reply with the full picture instead of a guess.

What the BuddyBoss Integration does

It links Heroic Inbox to your BuddyBoss community and matches the sender's email address to their member profile. When a ticket comes in, Heroic Inbox finds the right person and pulls their membership tier, group roles, recent activity, custom fields, and connections into a panel next to the conversation. You don't switch tabs or run a manual lookup to see any of it. The person emailing you stops being an address and becomes a member you recognize.

Know exactly who you're talking to, the moment you open the ticket

Before you read the first line, you know who you're dealing with. The sidebar shows the member's name, avatar, and a link to their full profile, plus their member type, whether that's Gold Member, Vendor, or whatever tiers you run.

See where they stand in your community

This tells you whether you're talking to a quiet member or someone who helps run the place. The integration lists every group the person belongs to and their role in each one (admin, moderator, or member), along with each group's privacy status and member count. A moderator of your biggest group is someone you want to route carefully and answer quickly, and now you can spot them at a glance instead of finding out later.

Read the room before you reply

You also get a quick read on how engaged this person is. Their last five activity items and their connection count sit right in the panel, so you can tell a power user who posts daily from an account that signed up this morning. That shapes how you pitch the reply, from the tone down to how much you need to spell out.

Who the BuddyBoss Integration is for

The fit is sharpest for a handful of people:

• Community and membership site owners who run their own support. If BuddyBoss powers your paid community, course, coaching program, or membership brand, and member emails land on your desk, this was built for you.
• Support managers at community-driven businesses, who need their agents to recognize tiers and VIPs without training every one of them to dig through WP admin.
• Agencies running client community sites on BuddyBoss, whose support teams get member context out of the box with no custom build.
• And anyone who's tired of opening a second tab just to work out who emailed.

What this looks like in practice

Say a ticket comes in from jane@example.com. The subject line is vague and the message is short. Normally you'd guess, or you'd go digging.

Instead, the panel fills in the second you open it, and you read straight down it: Jane Doe, a Lifetime Member, admin of the Founders Circle, which is a private group of 1,240. Forty-seven connections. Last seen replying in Product Feedback two hours ago.

You haven't typed anything and you already have the parts that matter. This is an engaged member who runs one of your busiest groups and was active a couple of hours ago. So you bump her ticket up the queue, skip the “are you actually a member?” dance, and open with a reply that shows you know who she is. You never left the inbox to do it.

How to turn it on

There's almost nothing to set up. The integration is designed to switch itself on as soon as it sees BuddyBoss.

Step 1. Update Heroic Inbox and activate the BuddyBoss integration

Make sure you're running the latest version of Heroic Inbox, then activate the BuddyBoss integration.

Step 2. Let it detect your community

You don't connect anything or map any fields.

Step 3. Tune it per mailbox if you want to

The panel is enabled by default. Keep it on for any mailbox that handles community members, and switch it off for the ones that don't.

That's the whole setup. For most teams it takes about a minute, and the context is there on every ticket after that.

Give your team the context they've been missing

If you're already on Heroic Inbox Pro, the BuddyBoss Integration is ready now. Update to the latest version, activate the addon, and the next ticket from a community member shows up with their profile attached.

If you're not on Pro yet, this is a fair reason to upgrade. Heroic Inbox Pro puts that member context on every conversation, so your agents aren't guessing or digging through WP admin to place who's writing in.

And if you run a BuddyBoss community but haven't tried Heroic Inbox, this is a good look at what it does: it keeps your community and your support in one place.

Thanks, as always, for building your communities with us.

You want to help, but you have no idea who you're talking to. Are they a first-time giver who chipped in $10 last week, or a supporter who has quietly given $50,000 over five years? Did their last payment fail, or was it refunded? Which campaigns do they care about? None of it is in front of you.

So you do what every agent does. You leave the inbox, open the WP Charitable admin, search for their email by hand, read through their donation records, then come back and try to hold all of it in your head while you write the reply. Now do that for every donor email, every day, across the whole team.

It adds up. The donor waits longer and the agent answers with less. In fundraising that matters more than it sounds, because the reply a supporter gets is part of why they give again, or don't.

Today we're introducing the WP Charitable integration for Heroic Inbox. It brings each donor's full giving history into the ticket itself, so your agents know who they're helping before they start writing.

What the WP Charitable integration does

When a contact emails your help desk, Heroic Inbox matches their email address against your WP Charitable donor records and shows their giving history in the conversation sidebar. Nobody searches for anything, copies an email into the admin, or opens a second tab.

If you already use the WooCommerce or EDD integrations, you know the pattern: order and purchase history, right where the agent is working. This does the same job for donations.

Know a major donor from a first-timer at a glance

The top of the panel gives you the shape of the relationship in one look: lifetime giving across every campaign, the total number of donations, the average gift, and the date someone first donated.

That changes the reply. A supporter who has given for five years gets a warm, familiar response. Someone giving for the first time gets a proper welcome. Either way, the agent isn't guessing about who's on the other end.

Troubleshoot a failed payment without leaving the ticket

Below the summary you get the donor's last 10 donations. Each line shows the amount, a status badge (Paid, Pending, Failed, Refunded, or Cancelled), the payment gateway, and the campaigns the gift went to. Every entry links straight to its donation page in WP Admin if you need to dig further.

So when someone writes “my payment didn't go through,” the answer is usually already on screen: the failed or pending donation, the gateway it used, and the campaign it was meant for. What used to be a five-minute hunt through the admin is now a glance at the sidebar.

Matching that just happens

There's nothing to set up per contact and no records to maintain. Heroic Inbox matches the donor to the ticket by email, reading from your existing WP Charitable data. When a donor writes in, their history shows up. For everyone else, the panel doesn't appear at all.

Who this is for

• Support teams at charities and nonprofits that run their help desk on WordPress and field donor questions all day.
• Agencies and freelancers who manage support for nonprofit clients and want donor context without standing up a separate CRM.
• Fundraising and development staff who want donor conversations to feel personal instead of transactional.
• Anyone running support on a WordPress site where the people writing in are also the people giving.

What this looks like in practice

Say a donor emails at 9pm: “I think I gave twice this month by mistake.” The next morning your agent opens the ticket, and the sidebar already shows two donations to the spring campaign, one Paid and one Failed. No double charge. The agent can say so in the first reply and point them to the receipt, without ever opening the admin.

Now say that donor happens to be one of your biggest recurring supporters. The lifetime total sits right at the top of the panel, so the reply can reflect it. It's a small thing to build, but it's the kind of detail a donor notices.

How to turn it on

It takes about a minute, and if you're on Heroic Inbox Pro with WP Charitable active, it's already running by default.

Step 1. Check that WP Charitable is active

Make sure WP Charitable is installed and activated. The integration reads straight from your existing donor records, so there's nothing to import or sync.

Step 2. Open your mailbox settings

Go to Heroic Inbox » Mailboxes and pick the mailbox where you want the donor panel to appear.

Step 3. Leave it on where it helps, off where it doesn't

The panel is enabled by default. Keep it on for any mailbox that handles donor email, and switch it off for the ones that don't. That's the whole setup. The next time a donor writes in, their giving history is waiting in the sidebar.

Give it a try and tell us what you think

The WP Charitable integration is live now in Heroic Inbox Pro. If you're already on Pro with WP Charitable active, open a donor ticket and the history is right there in the sidebar.

Not on Pro yet? The integration comes with it, along with the rest of what Pro adds to your support workflow.

We built this to make donor support quicker and more personal, and we'd like to know how it holds up with your team and your data. Turn it on, work a few donor tickets with the full picture in front of you, and tell us what you'd want next.

The tool gets sluggish once real volume arrives. The interface buries the reply box under panels you never asked for. And every month, the invoice grows, because you are paying per agent, per ticket, or per feature you barely use, while your customer data lives on someone else's platform.

Every one of those slow loads and extra clicks is a customer waiting longer than they should. That is the cost of the status quo, and it compounds daily.

Today, we are introducing Heroic Inbox 3: a shared inbox for WordPress, rebuilt from the ground up so your team can get to the reply faster, on a system that stays quick as your inbox fills with real volume.

What Heroic Inbox 3 does

Heroic Inbox turns your WordPress site into a shared inbox and helpdesk. Your team manages support, sales, and any other mailbox from one place, with assignments, notes, saved replies, and automated workflows, while your data stays on your own site.

Version 3 is not a coat of paint. We rebuilt the foundation rather than stacking new features on the old one, because the two things that slow every helpdesk team down are a system that drags under volume and an interface that gets in the way of replying. Heroic Inbox 3 fixes both.

And there are no agent caps and no ticket caps. Your team grows; your bill does not.

Replies that keep pace with your queue

Speed is the most important feature a helpdesk has, so the new base is built for it. Heroic Inbox 3 runs fast even on inexpensive hosting, and it stays responsive when your mailbox holds months of real conversation history rather than demo data.

We did not test this on demo data. Our own support mailbox at HeroThemes holds over 30,000 tickets, and it is where every build gets proven first. In that same mailbox, Heroic Inbox 3 loads 5x faster than version 2.

Since launch, we have already shipped hundreds of bug fixes and small optimizations on top of the rebuild, guided directly by customer feedback. The result is a helpdesk that is reliable, stable, and ready to replace your existing system.

An interface that gets out of the way

The entire UI has been redesigned around research and user feedback, with one goal: help you decide what to do with a ticket and do it in as few clicks as possible.

The ticket view puts the conversation and customer history front and center, so the context you need for a helpful reply is already on screen. No hunting through tabs, no guessing what was promised last time.

The new editor shows your message exactly as the customer will see it, with quick actions and keyboard shortcuts built in. Quote text from the ticket history, insert a saved reply by typing “/”, attach files, CC teammates, and pull in knowledge base articles without leaving the reply box. Your favorite grammar extensions work too.

Connect Gmail or Outlook in one click

Connecting a mailbox used to be the most fragile part of any helpdesk setup. In Heroic Inbox 3, Gmail and Outlook connect with one click through secure OAuth. Using a different provider? IMAP and SMTP support covers virtually any mailbox.

The setup assistant walks you through it, and most teams have their first mailbox live within five minutes of installing the plugin.

Bring your history with you

Switching helpdesks usually means abandoning years of customer context. Email Import removes that tradeoff: pull your existing email history into Heroic Inbox so past conversations sit right alongside new ones from day one.

That makes migration from Gmail, Outlook, or an existing helpdesk a process measured in minutes, not weeks, and your team never has to answer a customer blind.

And switching carries no risk. The import copies your history; your original mailbox stays exactly where it is, so nothing is lost if you change your mind. If you hit a snag at any point, our support team will walk you through the migration personally. And every plan is backed by a 100% no-risk money-back guarantee, so you can run Heroic Inbox alongside your current helpdesk and decide once you have seen it handle your real volume.

“Heroic Inbox replaced our Help Scout subscription and saves us over $300/month. Setup took 10 minutes, and the team was up and running the same day.”
– Amy B., Founder, Launch and Sell

What's New?

Automated Workflows

Change how you manage tickets/emails with hundreds of possible automated workflows. Such as:

• Auto tagging a senior member and add the p1 tag if the ticket or email is from a VIP customer.
• Closing the ticket and sending a feedback email when the ‘feedback’ tag is added to the ticket.
• Sending an automated follow-up message if a customer doesn't reply within a certain number of days.

This can drastically reduce the amount of time spent on repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on discussing and solving real issues.

Powerful Editor

Powerful editor that shows exactly how your message will look. With necessary controls, quick actions and shortcut keys.

This includes:

• Quoting certain text from ticket history
• Inserting saved replies or email templates without clicking a button
• Attachment and CC support
• Integrated knowledge base to find and insert relevant articles
• Support for your favorite grammar extensions.

Agent Tagging

Communicate with your teammates without leaving the Heroic Inbox platform.

There's no need for an additional Slack channel or personal message to get things done.

User management

Manage users and their mailbox access from the Heroic Inbox settings:

• Control which mailbox users can access
• Roles: Agent, Manager and Admin

Saved Replies / Email Templates

Heroic Inbox aims to provide one of the most important features of any ticketing system – email templates or saved replies.

Not just a way to add email templates that will sit in a corner of the settings page, but a robust feature that your team will use every day.

It will save time when answering common questions and crafting messages, such as:

• Answering questions like – Do you offer refunds? Or What is your return policy?
• Quickly inserting introductions or final thoughts.

Saved replies in Heroic Inbox can be inserted by typing “/”, or by accessing the saved reply button.

Similarly, we made sure creating saved replies are easier.

Just select the text you want to save as template from the reply box and hit that cute little “Save as Reply” button.

Who Heroic Inbox 3 is for

• Support and sales leads at small and mid-sized businesses who manage a daily queue and are tired of paying per-agent prices for a helpdesk that slows down at volume.
• Growing eCommerce, SaaS, and healthcare businesses that handle high email volume, need team-specific inboxes, and want customer data on their own site rather than a third-party platform.
• Agencies and teams migrating off an expensive helpdesk, where one-click connection and Email Import remove the usual switching friction.
• Professionals who live in their inbox, from consultants to HR to founders, currently tracking conversations across Gmail and a spreadsheet and still missing follow-ups.
• Anyone who answers customer email as a team and wants it to cost less and move faster.

What this looks like in practice

Imagine a Tuesday morning. Overnight orders brought in forty new emails. The VIP customer's message was already tagged priority and assigned to your senior agent by a workflow before anyone logged in. Your first reply of the day takes three keystrokes: open the ticket, type “/”, insert the saved reply, send. The customer's full history sat beside the conversation the whole time. By the time your coffee is cool, the queue is half clear.

That is the daily difference a rebuilt foundation makes.

Get started with Heroic Inbox 3 at 60% off

To celebrate the release, new subscribers get 60% off. That means you can start with Heroic Inbox for $79.60/year, with 2 mailboxes, unlimited users and tickets. No per-agent pricing, ever.

Do the math against what you pay now. A team of four on Help Scout, at $30 per user per month, costs $120 a month, or $1,440 a year. A single month of that bill costs more than a full year of Heroic Inbox.

Getting set up takes roughly 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how much email history you import:

Step 1. Subscribe to a Heroic Inbox plan

Pick any plan at the introductory 60% off pricing.

Step 2. Download and install the plugin

Grab Heroic Inbox from your account dashboard and install it on your WordPress site.

Step 3. Connect your mailbox

Follow the setup assistant. Gmail and Outlook connect in one click; IMAP and SMTP cover everything else.

Step 4. Import your emails

Bring your history over so your team starts with full context.

Already a Heroic Inbox customer? If your subscription is active, the version 3 upgrade is waiting in your dashboard. The upgrade is seamless: install it and pick up right where you left off.

Not ready to commit? Every plan comes with a 100% no-risk money-back guarantee, so the only thing to lose is the per-agent invoice.

Thank you for being part of HeroThemes. Over 15 years and 32,000+ customers, your feedback has shaped everything we build, and Heroic Inbox 3 most of all.

The HeroThemes Team

P.S. Still paying per agent, per month? Every renewal is a decision, and your current helpdesk is counting on you not making one. One click to connect, one import to keep your history, and a year of Heroic Inbox costs less than a single month of a four-seat SaaS helpdesk. The math does not get better by waiting.

Quick summary: HelpJet is our brand-new AI customer support chatbot. It uses your existing WordPress site content to answer customer questions through an embeddable chat widget. No flowcharts, decision trees or prompt engineering are required.

HelpJet is free and built to work on any type of website, including WordPress, Shopify and Wix.

Why We Built HelpJet

It’s been 15 years since we started building WordPress plugins that specifically focused on customer support and service.

When we built Heroic KB, the idea was simple: give customers a place to find answers themselves. And it works.

A well-structured knowledge base genuinely reduces ticket volume. But it doesn't eliminate it, because some customers won't search, and others search and still can't find what they need.

Heroic Inbox solves the next layer. When a customer does reach out, your team handles it from one clean shared inbox.

But here's the problem neither product fully addressed: most of the tickets landing in that inbox shouldn't require a human intervention at all.

To solve this, we introduced Heroic AI Assistant as a Heroic KB feature. And it genuinely helped most of our customers to solve more customer problems on the knowledge base before they become tickets.

Building on that success, we created a dedicated AI chatbot/assistant platform (HelpJet) that more businesses can access. Which offers:

• A usable free solution
• Easier data feeding and control over it
• Activity logs and reporting functionally
• Bot training
• Easier implementation
• Customization options

We know that HelpJet is not one of a kind—there are hundreds of similar services. What sets HelpJet apart is its simplicity.

Getting started with HelpJet takes just 5 minutes, and its feature set is just what you need from an AI chatbot. Nothing fancy, overly complicated or costly.

What HelpJet Can Do

By now you already have a good enough idea what HelpJet does. But,let's look at its key features in more detail.

Have Real Conversations, Not Scripted Ones

The biggest complaint about traditional chatbots is that they feel like a broken phone tree.

They work when a customer's question matches a pre-written script exactly. The moment someone phrases something differently or asks a follow-up, the whole thing falls apart.

HelpJet doesn't work like scripts:

• It reads the intent behind a question, not just the keywords.
• If a customer is frustrated, it picks up on that.
• If they're confused, it tries a different explanation.
• If they're asking about something your content covers from a different angle, it finds the right answer rather than defaulting to “I'm sorry, I didn't understand that.”

In below image you can see I asked HelpJet “waht asuis heroic awdwa knowledge nase”, and it come up with right answer.

In such situations any generic or highly scripted chatbot would fail. But not HelpJet.

Train HelpJet with Your Existing Content

Most chatbots force you to rebuild your knowledge base within their platform. HelpJet, on the other hand, fetches your existing data from WordPress sites.

Every source shows processing status, priority weighting, and timestamp.

You can manage, reorder, or remove sources any time. And once a week, HelpJet automatically re-ingests your content to stay current as your site changes, with no manual retraining required.

Clean Human Escalation

HelpJet handles the questions it can handle, and steps back from the ones it can't.

When a conversation goes beyond what the bot knows, or when a customer explicitly asks for a person, HelpJet routes the conversation to a contact form or email address, wherever your team is.

This isn't just a fallback. It's a feature.

The worst version of a support bot is one that loops a confused customer in circles rather than admitting it can't help.

Real-Time Dashboard for Conversations, Satisfaction, and Top Questions

You shouldn't have to guess how well your bot is performing. HelpJet's dashboard gives you a clear picture of what's happening:

• Total conversations and messages received over any time window
• Satisfaction rate based on user feedback (thumbs up or down after each conversation)
• Resolution rate: how many issues get resolved without human intervention
• Top questions: the specific queries your customers ask most, ranked by frequency
• Activity log: a searchable, filterable record of every conversation, with sentiment tagging (positive, negative, or neutral) and resolution status

Built-In Preview Environment

HelpJet includes a built-in preview environment where you can test the bot against your real content before deploying it to your site.

The Preview & Test interface shows exactly how the bot responds to your questions, so you can catch problems before customers do. In Training Mode, you direct the bot’s responses for future conversations, tweaking the behavior directly from the preview.

How Much Does HelpJet Cost?

HelpJet is free to start and does not require a credit card. The Free plan gives you one bot and 100 conversations per month, which is enough to see real results before spending anything.

The Pro plan costs $29 per month ($23 per month with annual billing) and increases your limit to three bots and 1,000 conversations per month.

There are also add-ons:

• $30 for 1,000 message credits, which never expire
• Additional bots for $20 per bot per month
• White-label removal to hide the “Powered by HelpJet” badge for $79 per month

Both plans include a 14-day Pro trial, so you can test the full feature set before committing.

What's Coming Next

This is the first version of HelpJet, and there's more on the roadmap:

• Deeper native integrations between HelpJet, Heroic KB, and Heroic Inbox. Including the ability to trigger Heroic Inbox ticket creation directly from a bot handoff so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Expanding platform integrations with dedicated plugins and apps.

If you have feedback on the early version, use the Send Feedback link inside your HelpJet dashboard. We read everything, and a lot of what's already on the roadmap came directly from our early-access testers.

Why Heroic KB + Chrome Extension?

As our platform grew and we worked with more diverse teams, we noticed a common pain point: the constant context-switching required to access knowledge base content while working in other applications or websites.

This innovative feature enables you to create dynamic support forms that seamlessly guide users through your knowledge base before they submit a ticket. The outcome? Streamlined support, decreased ticket influx, and more satisfied customers. This integration is now live for all HeroicKB Pro users!

Introducing the HeroicKB + Formidable Forms Integration

Imagine this scenario: A customer faces a challenge and navigates to your support page. Before submitting a ticket, they're greeted by an intelligent form powered by HeroicKB and Formidable Forms.

This form encourages them to explore relevant articles in your knowledge base first. If they find a solution, fantastic! If not, they can proceed with their ticket submission, confident that their issue requires personalized attention.

Why Choose the HeroicKB + Formidable Forms Integration?

Empower your customers

This integration is designed to enhance your customers' experience. By guiding them through your knowledge base, you're providing tools for quick problem-solving. This approach promotes self-reliance and builds customer confidence.

A recent study by Zendesk revealed that 69% of customers prefer to resolve issues independently before contacting support. This underscores the importance of a well-structured, easily accessible knowledge base.

Optimize Support Efficiency and Resources

Each ticket avoided through successful knowledge base navigation is a victory for your support team. By deflecting these queries, your team can dedicate their expertise to more complex, high-priority issues.

Research by Gartner suggests that live customer service interactions cost an average of $8.01 per contact, while self-service channels cost about $0.10 per contact. The potential for cost savings through effective knowledge base utilization is substantial.

Effortless Setup

Implementing the HeroicKB and Formidable Forms integration is straightforward. With an intuitive setup process, you'll have this powerful feature up and running in minutes, not hours.

Setting Up Your Gated Support Form

Integrating Heroic KB with your Formidable Forms support forms is a straightforward process. Here’s how it works:

1. Add our special “KB Suggest” form field to your form:

Use Formidable Forms’ Conditional Logic feature on a checkbox field so that it only appears when the KB Suggest field isn’t empty. Then, use the Conditional Logic feature again on the rest of the fields in your support form to display those only if the checkbox is checked.

2. Here’s what the form will look like:

3. When a user enters a keyword to search, they will be presented with suggested knowledge base articles:

4. If none of the suggested articles are helpful, the user can check the box and continue to open a support ticket:

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate Heroic KB with your Formidable Forms support forms, providing users with helpful suggestions and the option to submit a support ticket if needed.

Ready to Revolutionize Your Support Strategy?

Integrating HeroicKB with Formidable Forms isn't just about adding a new feature—it's about reimagining your entire customer support approach. It's about creating a smarter, more efficient support ecosystem.

Introducing the Heroic KB CSV Importer

Exhausted from adding content manually, especially when handling large volumes of data?

Imagine a scenario where bulk import is carried out simultaneously, substantially reducing the time and effort required to add content manually. Perfect for businesses needing to incorporate vast volumes of information swiftly.

Heroic KB CSV Importer is here to turn this into reality.

Why Heroic KB + CSV Importer?

We've always prided ourselves on providing cutting-edge knowledge base solutions. However, as we grew and attracted more customers, we began to notice a recurring challenge: many of our new clients were struggling to transition from their outdated legacy systems to our platform.

These legacy systems, often years old, were deeply entrenched in our customers' operations. They contained vast amounts of valuable knowledge, accumulated over years of business activities. The prospect of migrating this data to Heroic KB was daunting for many. We heard countless stories of frustration from clients who felt overwhelmed by the sheer technical hurdle to overcome.

The existing migration process was far from ideal. It typically involved using expensive third-party tools that required significant technical expertise to operate effectively. Even with these tools, the process was painfully slow and prone to errors. Customers would spend days, sometimes weeks, painstakingly moving their data piece by piece.

To assist with this complex process, we often had to deploy our senior support lead to guide customers through the migration.

As we listened to our customers' feedback and observed the strain on our support resources, we had a realization: we needed to revolutionize our approach to data migration. Our goal was clear – we wanted to empower our customers to import their content quickly and easily, without the need for external tools or extensive support.

This led us to develop our new “CSV Import” feature. We designed it to be intuitive and powerful, allowing users to transfer large volumes of data from various legacy systems directly into Heroic KB. The process was streamlined to require minimal technical knowledge, enabling customers to complete their migrations in minutes rather than days.

How to import articles from CSV

1. Upload your CSV file

2. Preview the data to be imported

3. Map your columns to the knowledge base article content

You can also choose to import your content as a draft to verify before publishing publicly.

4. Preview how your data will be mapped

5. Import

6. Done!

Awesome, your content is imported and you’re ready to go!

BONUS: Migrate easily from other KB plugins

We’ve also built a new migration tool that can transfer your knowledge base content in one click from other WordPress knowledge base plugins, such as WeDocs, BetterDocs, and Echo Knowledge Base, into Heroic KB. This allows you to switch quickly and easily.

Need to import from another tool? Let us know, and we’ll include it in our next update.

This game-changing feature allows you to create gated support forms that intelligently prompt users to search your knowledge base before submitting a ticket. The result? More efficient support, reduced ticket volume, and happier customers. And it's available now for all Heroic KB Pro customers!

Introducing the Heroic KB + WPForms Integration

Picture this: A customer encounters an issue and heads to your support page to submit a ticket. But before they do, they're presented with a smart form powered by Heroic KB and WPForms.

This form encourages them to first search for a solution in your knowledge base. If they find their answer, great! If not, they can proceed with submitting their ticket, now armed with the knowledge that their issue truly requires personalized assistance.

Why the Heroic KB + WPForms Integration?

Empower Your Customers

This integration is crafted to empower your customers. By directing them to search your knowledge base first, you provide tools for self-resolution. This leads to quicker problem-solving and fosters independence and trust.

A survey by Coleman Parkes Research indicates that 91% of customers would use a knowledge base if it were comprehensive and user-friendly. This highlights the critical value of having a well-maintained knowledge base.

Reduce Support Volume and Costs

Every ticket that's avoided due to a successful knowledge base search is a win for your support team. By deflecting these tickets, your team can focus on more complex, high-value issues that truly require their expertise.

A study by the Harvard Business Review found that the average cost of a live service interaction (phone, email, or webchat) is more than $7 for a B2C company and more than $13 for a B2B company. In contrast, self-service interactions cost pennies. Every ticket deflected through successful knowledge base usage represents significant cost savings.

Seamless Integration

Integrating Heroic KB with your WPForms support forms is a breeze. No complex setup, no hassle. Just a smooth, intuitive process that will have you up and running in no time.

Setting Up Your Gated Support Form

Integrating Heroic KB with your WPForms support forms is a straightforward process. Here’s how it works:

1. Add our special “KB Suggest” form field to your form:

Use WPForms’ Smart Logic feature on a checkbox field so that it only appears when the KB Suggest field isn’t empty. Then, use the Smart Logic feature again to display the rest of the form only if the checkbox is checked.

2. Here’s what the form will look like:

3. When a user enters a keyword to search, they will be presented with suggested knowledge base articles:

4. If none of the suggested articles are helpful, the user can check the box and continue to open a support ticket:

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate Heroic KB with your WPForms support forms, providing users with helpful suggestions and the option to submit a support ticket if needed.
