Review best practices, common mistakes and the impact each has on bugs, billing and churn. [Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/saas/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for SaaS customer support? An AI agent for SaaS customer support is software that resolves your users’ requests, such as a setup question, a broken integration or a bug report, instead of only answering questions about them. In BoldDesk it works in your product, docs and Jira through native integrations, API actions or MCP, and answers how-to questions from your knowledge base. ### Can BoldDesk’s AI agent onboard users and fix integration errors in our product? Yes. Through API actions or an MCP server connected to your product, the AI agent can read a workspace’s setup progress, check an integration’s status and last error, and fix or resend what your API allows, then guide the user through the next steps from your docs. Seat, plan and invoice changes in Stripe work the same way, and the ones you mark as approval-required wait for your billing lead. ### Does BoldDesk work with Jira, Azure DevOps and our own product’s API? Yes. BoldDesk has native Jira and Azure DevOps integrations that link tickets to issues and work items, so support sees their status on the ticket. The AI agent collects the browser, app version, error and steps first, and your product’s API, admin console, identity provider and request logs connect as API actions or an MCP server, limited to the actions you allow. ### How does BoldDesk protect your customers’ data? BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant with a data processing agreement, and offers HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA. Data is encrypted with AES-256, access is controlled with SSO, IP restrictions and roles, and PII redaction masks personal data users paste into a chat. AI services are turned off in HIPAA mode, so use the AI agent for requests that don’t involve protected health information. ### How do I stop the AI agent from issuing refunds or resetting 2FA on its own? Mark refunds, credits, 2FA and SSO resets, downgrades and account deletions as approval-required, or set a rule such as refunds over $500 needing your billing lead. The AI agent prepares the action from the account, waits for the named approver, then runs it, and each step is saved in its trace log. ### When does the AI agent hand a SaaS customer to a person? When a customer asks to cancel or shows churn risk, when an enterprise account or a security issue is involved, when its confidence is low, or when your rules say so, the AI agent passes the conversation to your support, success or engineering team with what it checked. Anyone on your team can take over an AI conversation in one click. ### How is BoldDesk priced for a SaaS company’s support, success and engineering teams? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so support engineers, customer success managers and the developers who take escalations all work in BoldDesk at no seat cost. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000. ### Which channels and languages can your users use? Users can reach the AI agent inside your product through BoldDesk’s embeddable chat widget, in your help center, by email and on WhatsApp, and it replies in 40+ languages, translating each exchange for your support team.
