How can we help you?

Appearance Settings in Smart Support

The Appearance Settings allow you to customize the look and feel of your helpdesk system, add a floating support widget, and manage how ticket notifications appear for agents.

Access it via:
WordPress Dashboard → Smart Support → Settings → Appearance

🎨 Color Scheme

  • Primary Color
    Defines the main color used for buttons, links, and highlights.
    Example: Brand color of your company (e.g., blue, green).

  • Secondary Color
    Defines the accent and border colors.
    Example: Used for highlights and contrast against the primary color.

💡
Tip: Match these with your website’s theme colors for consistent branding.

💬 Floating Widget

  • Show Floating Widget
    Enable this option to display a floating support icon on the frontend. Customers can quickly access the ticket system from anywhere on your site.

  • Widget Position
    Choose where the widget appears:

    • Bottom Right (default)
    • Bottom Left
    • (May vary depending on theme compatibility)
💡
Tip: Floating widgets are especially useful on eCommerce stores or membership sites where users may need quick support.

🔔 Notification System

  • Enable Ticket Reply Notifications
    When enabled, agents get notifications in the dashboard whenever users reply to tickets.

  • Show Open Ticket Count in Menu
    Displays a badge in the WordPress admin menu showing the number of open tickets (e.g., “Smart Support (5)”).

  • Show Waiting Icon
    Displays a pulsing clock icon next to ticket titles when a customer reply is waiting for an agent response. This makes it easier to spot tickets needing attention.

✅ Best Practices

  • Use your brand’s primary & secondary colors to keep your support portal consistent.
  • Enable the floating widget for better user experience, especially on high-traffic websites.
  • Turn on waiting icons to help your agents prioritize tickets faster.
