Home is the first page of the HelpAlive dashboard. It tells you in one screen whether the agent is on, what needs your attention, and how much of your plan you have used.

Home at a glance

  • The band at the top says the agent’s state in one sentence, with one button.
  • Needs you lists anything that waits for a person, each with a link.
  • This month against your plan shows how many assists and chat messages are used and how many your plan includes.
  • What the agent did shows five figures for the last 7 days, each compared with the 7 days before.
  • Latest activity lists assists, chats and nudges across your tenants, newest first.

What the Home page shows

Your agent’s state

The band at the top says the agent’s state in one sentence, with one button. While the agent is on, the second line says how many sources it answers from and when you last published.

Needs you

Under the band, Needs you lists anything that waits for a person, each with a link: an unfinished Setup step, a failed crawl, a re-crawl waiting for Publish, usage nearing your plan, an invite about to expire, or a card problem. You can Hide or Show the list.

This month against your plan

Your plan’s name and period, and for assists and chat messages: how many are used, how many your plan includes, and a projection once there is enough of the month to go on. Use Add assists or Add chat messages to buy a pack on Settings → Billing and usage.

Last 7 days: What the agent did

Five figures for the last 7 days, each compared with the 7 days before:
  • People helped refers to people who started at least one assist.
  • Assists started
  • Finished refers to the share of assists started that the agent took to the end.
  • Conversations
  • Messages refers to chat messages, as your plan counts them.
Open in Reports opens the same figures in Reports, where you can pick another period.

Assists per day and how they ended

A bar a day for the last 7 days, split by how each assist ended.

Latest activity

Assists, chats and nudges across your tenants, newest first, with a link into Audience. A nudge shows what came of it. See Nudges.

Check it works

Once Setup is done and the agent is on, the band reads “On for …” and Needs you has no Setup lines. The figures fill in as people use the agent in your app.

Troubleshooting

  • The band says “Off: no docs published.” although you added sources. This is because a source counts only once it is published. Press Publish in the bar at the top.
  • The figures stay at zero. Assists count once HelpAlive completes their first step, and chat messages when the agent answers. Tests never count. See Limits and usage.
