## What this tool is
Donkey Support is a lightweight customer support widget you embed in your app or website.
Instead of forcing teams into a separate helpdesk, it sends customer conversations directly to the platform your team already uses: Slack, Discord, or Telegram.
Each incoming customer conversation becomes a thread, and agent replies inside those threads sync back to the website widget in real time.

The product is built for teams that want:
- Fast support without context-switching.
- A simple setup in minutes.
- A clean workflow that avoids heavy enterprise support suites.
- Affordable pricing without per-seat fees.

## Core workflow
1) Embed the widget with a script tag or React component.
2) Connect one platform (Slack, Discord, or Telegram).
3) Receive new tickets as threads in your selected channel.
4) Reply in-thread and sync replies back to the website visitor.
5) Automatically email customers who miss your reply, with branded emails and delivery tracking.

## Main features
- Full ticketing workflow: tickets, replies, and inbox views.
- Platform-native support replies from Slack, Discord, or Telegram.
- Real-time message sync between platform threads and website widget.
- Widget customization: company name, greeting, profile image, primary/accent colors.
- Visitor identification and metadata support (email, name, custom metadata).
- Signed metadata tokens (HS256) for trusted context verification.
- Office hours support.
- Domain allowlist control for widget embeds.
- Automatically email customers who miss replies, with delivery status tracking.
- Multi-tenant account isolation.
- Webhooks for automation use cases.
