Support + scheduling, one desk

Your help desk and your booking tool, finally one thing.

AsherSupport does the job of two companies — a help desk and a scheduler. Tickets, a knowledge base, an embeddable widget, and full call booking, multi-brand and on your own subdomain, with data you actually own.

No credit card. Your desk lives at you.ashersupport.com.

The problem

You were paying two companies. Now it’s one.

Everything you used a help desk (think Freshdesk) and a scheduler (think Calendly) for — in a single desk, sharing one customer record.

How it works

One desk, the whole journey.

From the first message to the booked call to the report — watch a request move through AsherSupport.

01Intake

Every message becomes a ticket

Email, your branded portal, and the embeddable widget all land in one shared inbox — nothing slips through, no matter how a customer reaches out.

Everything in one desk

A full help desk and a full scheduler

Not a thin add-on on either side — two complete products sharing one customer record, one login, and one bill.

01 · Help desk
Help desk

Support that scales with you

Capture requests from anywhere, triage them with real workflow, automate the busywork, and measure it all.

Capture every request

Email to ticket

Point your provider's inbound webhook at your desk — every message opens a ticket, and replies tagged [#123] thread back onto it.

Branded portal

Customers submit and follow their requests from a portal on your own subdomain, then reply right in the thread.

Embeddable widget

Drop a widget on any site so visitors search articles and file a request without leaving the page — lockable to one product.

One shared inbox

Email, portal and widget all land in the same queue with source tagged, so nothing is scattered across tools.

Triage & resolve

Six ticket statuses

Open, Pending, Resolved, Closed, and Waiting on Customer or Third Party — the full lifecycle of a conversation.

Four priorities

Low, Medium, High and Urgent set the pace and drive reporting and SLA targets.

Ticket types

Classify as Question, Incident, Problem, Feature Request or Refund to route and report cleanly.

Agents & groups

Assign a ticket to an agent or a group; manage your team and toggle agents active from Admin.

Canned responses

Save reusable replies and drop them into a conversation so common answers go out in seconds.

Contacts directory

Every requester becomes a contact with their ticket history in one shared customer record.

Automate & enforce

Automation rules

IF/THEN rules on ticket create: match on subject, status, priority, source, type, tags, product, group or assignment, then set fields, tag, route or add a private note.

SLA policies

Per-priority first-response and resolution targets, tracked against your configured business hours.

Business hours

Define your working week and timezone once — the baseline your SLA clocks run against.

Activity log

Field changes and automated actions are recorded on the ticket timeline, so every move is auditable.

Organize & measure

Knowledge base

Organize Solutions into categories and folders, write articles, and publish them for customers to self-serve.

Multi-brand products

Run every brand from one desk — each product carries its own support email and its own reporting.

Analytics

A 14-day creation trend, average resolution time, and breakdowns by status, priority, product and agent.

02 · Scheduling
Scheduling

Booking built into the desk

A complete Calendly-style scheduler — event types, live availability, Zoom, and a meetings inbox — with no second tool to buy.

Set it up

Event types

Create bookable meetings with a name, duration, description and location — Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, phone, in person or custom — plus buffers.

Your availability

Set weekly working windows and a timezone; slots respect buffers, minimum notice and existing bookings automatically.

Zoom integration

Connect your own Zoom once and every Zoom booking auto-creates a meeting with a join link — no manual setup.

Get booked

Booking pages

Share a link and customers pick a free time from your live availability — a complete self-serve booking flow.

Meetings inbox

Every booking lands in one place — filter to yours, see join links and linked tickets, and mark complete or cancel.

.ics calendar invites

Confirmed bookings come with a standard .ics file that drops straight into any calendar app.

Self-manage links

Each invitee gets a secure link to reschedule or cancel on their own — no back-and-forth email needed.

Book a call from any ticket

Support and scheduling are one system, not a hand-off. Pick an event type and time right inside a conversation and the booking is created — Zoom link and all — and linked straight back to the ticket.

One system

Every capability above ships in one desk you own. Start for free →

Compare

You need support and scheduling. They each do half.

Calendly books calls but can’t run support. Freshdesk runs support but can’t book a call. AsherSupport is both — sharing one customer record, on a portal you own.

Calendly and Freshdesk are each excellent at their one job — you’d just be paying two companies, wiring them together, and splitting your customer across two systems. AsherSupport is the one desk that does both.

AsherSupport
Both

Full help desk and full scheduler in one login — multi-brand, on your subdomain, data you own.

Calendly
Scheduling

Great booking pages and availability — but no ticketing, knowledge base, or support inbox.

Freshdesk
Support

Strong tickets, KB, and SLAs — but no native Calendly-style booking or availability.

Fits your stack

Plays nice with the tools you already use.

No sprawling connector marketplace — just the handful of things a real support desk actually needs, wired in and working out of the box.

Zoom

Every booked call auto-generates a Zoom meeting link — no copy-paste.

Microsoft Teams

Offer Microsoft Teams as the meeting location on any event type — paste your Teams link and it rides along with every booking.

Email

Inbound email lands as a ticket; your replies go back out as email.

Your website

Drop in the embeddable support widget so customers reach you in-page.

Postgres

Your data lives in Postgres — export it, own it, self-host the whole thing.

.ics calendar

Bookings send a standard .ics invite that drops into any calendar app.

Yours to keep

Multi-brand, on your subdomain, your data.

Multi-brand

Run every brand you own from one desk — route, tag, and report per product.

Your own subdomain

A branded customer portal at you.ashersupport.com, yours from day one.

Own your data

Backed by Postgres and self-hostable. Tickets, contacts, and history stay portable.

Less stack, more done.

FAQ

Questions, answered

The short version of how one desk replaces your help desk and your scheduler.

Is it really a help desk AND a scheduler?

Yes — both, in one system. You get full ticketing, a knowledge base, and an embeddable widget on the support side, plus Calendly-style call booking on the scheduling side. They share one desk and one customer record, so a conversation and a booked call are never in two disconnected tools.

Can I move off Freshdesk and Calendly?

That's the point. AsherSupport consolidates the help desk you were paying for and the scheduler you were paying for into a single desk you own — one login, one bill, one place your customers reach you.

Do I actually own my data?

Yes. Everything is backed by Postgres and the platform is self-hostable, so your tickets, contacts, and full history stay portable — not locked inside someone else's cloud.

Can I run multiple brands from one account?

Yes. Set up a product for each brand you run and route, tag, and report on every brand independently — each with its own support email — all from the same desk.

Does it handle SLAs and automations?

Both are built in. SLA policies track first-response and resolution targets against your business hours, and IF/THEN automations run on ticket create, update, or on a time-based schedule to triage, assign, and escalate for you.

How does customer scheduling work?

You define event types and your availability, and customers book a time straight from your portal. Every booking can auto-add a Zoom link and send an .ics calendar invite — and agents can also book a call directly from inside a ticket.

What do customers see?

A branded customer portal on your own subdomain, where they search your knowledge base, submit a ticket, check its status, and book a call. No account needed — customers are identified by their email.

How fast can I be live?

Minutes. Sign up, add a brand/product and a booking page, then share your portal link — your customers can file tickets and book calls right away.

One desk. Two fewer subscriptions.

Give every brand real support and easy scheduling — from a help desk you actually own.
