Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers about account management, billing, and security.

Account & Registration

Managing your personal profile and login credentials.

How do I register a new account? +

We operate on an invite-only basis for organization members, or a rigorous approval process for new founders.

  1. If you are joining an existing team, ask your admin for an Invite Link.
  2. If you are a new founder, reach out to our sales team. Once approved, you'll receive a temporary password.
  3. Log in and you will be guided to create your organization immediately.
How do I reset my password? +

If you can't log in:

  1. Click the help icon on the login page to submit a request.
  2. Select "Forgot Password".
  3. Our support team will verify you with your Organization Admin.

If you are logged in, simply go to My Profile > Security to update it.

Can I use SyncDesk on mobile? +

Yes! SyncDesk is fully optimized as a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can access the full dashboard, manage tickets, and even use developer tools directly from your phone. Install it to your home screen for the best experience.

Organization Management

Structuring your teams, users, and branding.

How do I customize my branding? +

Admins can fully brand their workspace in Settings > General:

  • Subdomains: Claim your unique URL (e.g., acme.syncdesk.org).
  • Visuals: Upload your Logo and set a Primary Color.

These settings automatically apply to your dashboard, login screens, and all outgoing email notifications.

How do I invite team members? +

Admins can invite users via the Settings panel:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Users.
  2. Click "Add User".
  3. Enter their email and select a Role.
  4. They will receive an email with a secure registration link.
What are the differences between roles? +
  • Founder/Admin: Full access to settings, billing, deletion, and API keys.
  • Agent: Can view, manage, and reply to tickets. Cannot access billing or org settings.
  • Customer: Can only view and reply to their own tickets.

Tickets & Workflows

Optimizing your support process.

How are old tickets handled? +

To keep your workspace clean, we use an **Auto-Archive** system. Tickets that have been closed for more than your configured period (default: 7 days) are automatically moved to the archive. You can search archived tickets separately in the Reports section.

How do SLAs work? +

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) ensure timely responses.

  • Timers only count down during your configured Business Hours.
  • High Priority tickets have shorter timers.
  • If a timer runs out, the ticket is flagged "Breached" and managers are alerted.
Can I automate ticket assignment? +

Yes. Use Settings > Automations to create rules. For example: "If category represents Billing, assign to Finance Team."

Security & Privacy

How we protect your data.

Is my data encrypted? +

Yes. All data in transit is encrypted via TLS 1.3. All sensitive data at rest (passwords, keys) is hashed using bcrypt or encrypted using AES-256. We enforce strict tenant isolation, meaning your data is never accessible by other organizations.

Why was I locked out? +

To prevent brute-force attacks, we lock accounts after 5 failed attempts. The lock lasts for 5 minutes initially and increases with subsequent failures.

Advanced Features

Integrations and Power Tools.

Does SyncDesk integrate with Discord? +

Yes! You can link specific Discord channels to notification events (like new tickets or breaches). Head to Settings > Notifications to configure channel IDs for real-time alerts.

How does the Xero Integration work? +

Our 2-way sync allows you to:

  • Push billable ticket time to Xero invoices.
  • Sync customer contact details automatically.
  • View invoice payment status directly within the ticket.
