The desk

Live chat, inbox, help, and the tools beside them

The chat on the site, the list of conversations, and the help articles in that same window.

Same product

Inbound email, operator sign-in, and public help

Mail lands on the thread. The team opens the desk with Google or Microsoft. Visitors read help — and People sits beside every conversation.

Save Email. Forward the public inbox. Reply-To keeps the next reply on the thread.

Inbound email

Google or Microsoft. An invite is still required to join a workspace.

Help · People

Built for the team that answers

Cove is the desk: the messenger on the site, the shared inbox, help in the same panel, and the contact beside the thread.

  1. 01

    On the site in two minutes

    Most visitors never email. Paste one script. The messenger opens on the page they are already reading. If they leave, the same thread is still there when they come back.

  2. 02

    One inbox for the conversation

    Website chat lands in the same queue. Email and SMS land when you connect them. A teammate assigns, notes, and replies once. The customer sees one history — not a restart in another tool.

  3. 03

    Help articles in the same panel

    Publish a page once. Visitors search it on the Articles tab. Your team can draft a reply from those pages. A person still sends.

  4. 04

    Translate the conversation

    Customers write in their language. The inbox shows a translation on the same message. Locale sits on the contact. The original is never replaced.

What you open

Inbox, help, and a campaign compose

Three desk surfaces. Captures match the shipped UI — queue, public help host, Broadcasts compose.

One queue. An owner. Resolve ends that visitor thread.

FAQ

Before you start

Card, day 15, inbound email, and how you switch.

Yes for Mini, Essentials, or Plus. Checkout collects a card. Cancel before day 14 and you are not charged. Free does not require a card. See pricing.

Free stays open. If a paid trial ends without an active subscription, the dashboard locks and the website widget stops (the public script returns 402). Owners upgrade from Billing.

No. Plus drafts from published help articles and macros. A person still sends. Visitors can always talk to a person. See Cove Agent.

Not as Gmail OAuth. Save Email on Channels, then forward your public support inbox to `{slug}@inbound.coveinbox.co`. That address appears after Email is connected and MX is live. Attachments and quote-strip are not shipped. Steps: Connect email.

When you connect them. Website chat is the channel that ships. Slack writes back only with Events and a bot token that includes `channels:history`. See integrations.

Paste the Cove snippet, remove the old tag, then import people, help markdown, and optional thread transcripts. The walkthrough is Switch to Cove.
