Integrate Confluence for seamless self-help

Build a help center that boosts your brand

Support is a critical touchpoint in the customer journey. Make sure you deliver intuitive UX, simple navigation, and looks that match your external website.

Customize the look and feel

Apply your brand’s logos, icons, images, and more so customers have no doubt they’ve come to the right place for help.

Preview sites as you build

Watch your sites come to life as you drag and drop UI modules and personalize each site around core user needs.

Publish portals for IT, HR, and more

Create a constellation of service desks, each for a different audience and with its own custom URL, design, content, and permissions.

Deliver the right support to the right audience

Anticipate user needs and give customers a seamless pathway to the help they need—whether it’s a request type, a self-help article, or their ticket status.

Maximize discoverability, minimize clutter

Not every customer needs to see every request type. Customize your sites’ layout and permissions to display the most sought-after content on site homes and landing pages.

Enhance the search experience

Pre-configure search results for common pain points so customers can find the help they need, fast.

Keep users in the know

Help users track the status of their tickets without any follow-ups with My Requests, a personalized request-tracking module.

Empower your customers to problem-solve

Add Refined Sites for Confluence to deliver self-help documentation from Confluence knowledge bases right alongside JSM.

Display critical knowledge base docs from Confluence

Feature high-value content from your Confluence knowledge base prominently on your site to drive down the volume of requests.

Post engaging self-help content

Highlight key self-help content—get-started guides, How To’s, instructional videos, etc.—to help customers solve common issues on their own so agents can focus on the critical ones.

Deliver support right at the point of need

Embed JSM request type links on Confluence knowledge base articles so customers can seek help directly from docs pages without switching contexts.
