New BoldDesk features in 2025: Making support smarter and simpler
In 2025, BoldDesk set out to raise the bar for customer support, and the year became a turning point.
What once felt like routine ticket handling transformed into an intuitive, personalized experience that was far more impactful.
Here’s how the journey unfolded, and what we achieved together:
Advanced support with artificial intelligence (AI) features
Early in the year, we asked ourselves: How can support teams work with speed and intelligence without losing the personal touch?
The answer came in the form of AI-driven innovation. From AI agents in live chat that deliver instant, accurate answers, to AI actions that ensure context-aware responses and streamlined automation of workflows.
We also updated the AI Copilot feature to guide agents with accurate suggestions that transformed support from reactive to proactive.
The web crawling module has been enhanced for speed and flexibility, with improved performance, advanced crawl controls, better reporting, and support for uploading Microsoft documents as AI content sources for smarter responses.
Scaling became easier too, with multiple AI agents tailored for different products or channels, plus pre-deployment testing to validate accuracy and tone.
BoldDesk’s smarter support with AI
Long conversations? No problem. AI summaries condensed threads into actionable insights, while tone customization ensured every reply sounded just like your brand. But AI was only the beginning.
Streamlined processes with automation features
As the months unfolded, we focused on automation because time saved is service improved.
With the new reply action in event automation, we ensured that:
Customers stay informed: Every status change triggers an automatic reply, so they’re never left in the dark.
Agents save time: Routine updates are handled instantly, freeing them to focus on complex issues.
Communication stays consistent: Each reply follows the same standard, reinforcing trust and professionalism.

Smarter, seamless engagement through live chat
Meanwhile, the live chat software has evolved into a dynamic engagement hub, delivering smoother conversations and richer personalization.
Teams can now customize and integrate live chat with refreshed widget design, custom CSS and JavaScript, and deeper API and SDK integrations, including Chat SDK for embedding chat functionality into applications.
Other key live chat enhancements included real-time communication, theming, font customization, push notifications, client-side events for custom behaviors, bot personalization, and streaming AI responses for faster, more engaging interactions.
Live chat configuration in BoldDesk
Behind the scenes, managing chats grew simpler and more reliable. SLA tracking, bulk edits, and auto‑close for idle sessions keep queues clean and service levels steady.
At the same time, customers have now gained a voice with instant inline CSAT ratings, while agents stay proactive thanks to real‑time notifications and built‑in meeting scheduling.
Chat workflows now support richer automated communications with inline images, file attachments, built-in forms for structured data collection, omnichannel text input mapping, and WhatsApp catalog messaging for seamless engagement.
Additionally, extended chat developer API endpoints enable developers to manage conversations, messages, and attachments programmatically, creating deeper integrations and a more connected support experience.
Through these updates, our live chat software evolved into a space where efficiency meets empathy, ensuring every conversation feels seamless and every connection counts.
Effortless connections through intelligent omnichannel messaging
Support today is omnichannel, and BoldDesk embraced that reality.
New integrations expanded global reach through WhatsApp, LINE, and SMS via Twilio and Gupshup.
Social engagement also became more structured with Instagram story replies and mentions unified into a single view.
Instagram story replies
Omnichannel messaging grew more interactive with template-based conversations, MMS support, and the ability for customers to reopen closed conversations, ensuring continuity across touchpoints.
WhatsApp integrations now support rich survey messages, rich media templates, and catalog templates for product browsing across Meta, Gupshup, and Twilio, enabling more engaging, personalized, and seamless customer interactions.
A global retail brand using WhatsApp, Instagram, and email consolidated all conversations inside BoldDesk.
Customers could restart conversations on any channel, even after closing, and support teams maintained full context. This helped the brand deliver seamless engagement during product launches and seasonal campaigns.
Efficient issue management with an advanced ticketing system
Quietly but deliberately, we transformed the ticketing system into a smarter engine for issue resolution.
Organizations can now:
Define custom ticket stages with configurable status fields and capture precise details using customizable forms and sections.
Keep tickets connected to related records with lookup fields for richer context.
Find information faster with advanced search filters and attachment previews that eliminate unnecessary downloads.
Boost productivity through ticket macros for one‑click actions and agent custom fields in exports for tailored reporting.
Maintain clean queues with block domain options to reduce spam, while linked activity filters make tracking progress effortless.
Preserve context by linking chat conversations to tickets, with suspended email visibility ensuring full transparency.
Every improvement was designed with one goal in mind: faster resolutions and happier customers.
Unified workflows with seamless integration features
BoldDesk brought tools together in ways that turned scattered processes into a single, efficient workflow for context continuity.
Duplicate issues no longer slow teams down thanks to automatic ticket merging. CRM data flows effortlessly through Salesforce integration with features like two-way sync for tickets.
Voice interactions stay centralized with Ozonetel, Ringover, and Aircall, complete with call transcriptions.
Integration options in BoldDesk
Productivity integrations with Asana and PagerDuty keep teams aligned, while JWT SSO and Microsoft Entra ID streamline secure access.
Everyday workflows become faster with BoldSign e-signatures and Calendly scheduling embedded directly into support conversations, while document management is simplified with options to unlink, delete, and easily view all documents.
Plus, side threads enable private, internal chats linked to support tickets, allowing agents to collaborate without involving the customer and stay aligned through automatic syncing with designated Microsoft Teams channels.
Built-in accountability with chat SLA features
Uncertainty in live chat is a thing of the past. With integrated chatservice-level agreements(SLAs), conversations now come with the same reliability and structure as ticketing.
Organizations can set clear response and resolution deadlines, ensuring customers never feel left waiting.
Customers are now able to enjoy faster, more predictable support as BoldDesk automatically tracks SLA compliance, flags risks, and prioritizes urgent chats so teams focus where it matters most.
Agents stay proactive with timely prompts and reminders, while escalation safeguards kick in if an SLA is at risk, making sure every conversation gets immediate attention.
Customer-focused insights with an accessible knowledge base
The knowledge base was once harder to manage and less inclusive. Now, it’s a smarter self-service hub that makes content easier for teams and more useful for customers.
With the updates, users are now able to:
Organize content better by adding articles to multiple categories, ensuring resources appear wherever they matter most.
Share direct feedback on articles, giving teams actionable insights to refine content and boost satisfaction.
Save time with bulk updates and export options, simplifying large-scale edits and enabling offline sharing or backups.
Boost accessibility with WCAG 2.2 compliance, making BoldDesk inclusive for all users.

Advanced security with HIPAA compliance
BoldDesk strengthened its security framework in 2025 with HIPAA compliance, ensuring that sensitive healthcare data is handled with the highest standards of privacy and protection.

These updates put mobility and customization at the heart of support, helping teams work smarter, faster, and without limits.
Enhanced control with activity and admin module features
As teams scaled, admins needed more control and visibility. In 2025, BoldDesk expanded its activity and admin modules to meet that need.
Admins can create custom agent fields to capture unique data points like skills or department tags, tailoring reporting and processes to fit your organization.
Customizing the user field for agents in BoldDesk
Managing groups is simpler with multiple group owners, ensuring continuity and preventing bottlenecks when responsibilities shift.

The portals where your team and customers connect are now smarter and more engaging.
The agent portal makes work faster with text-based search for quick access to tickets and chats, and linking help articles or external URLs so customers get answers without leaving the conversation.
Personalization is effortless with placeholder support in canned responses, while WhatsApp templates’ on-demand loading keeps workflows smooth.
