Tools: Figma, Canva, Freshdesk, Freshchat, WordPress, ClickUp
Zane Counseling provides holistic therapy to a fast-growing immigrant and BIPOC community in the Seattle area.
Being a small organization with less than 25 full-time employees, they found that their staff were struggling to handle the increasing number of customer queries and support requests.
With a workforce that's premdominantly comprised of therapists and counselors, they wanted to automate the customer Q&A process so that they could focus on what they do best-- providing life-changing counseling services to their clients.
The Problem:
User & customer queries are received on a very basic version of WPForms.
-
No scope for sorting queries into meaningful categories or user flows
-
Little to no analytics of how many queries are coming in and the frequency and nature of queries.
-
Limited budget of $25-50 a month for an automation solution.
-
No single dashboard for receiving queries across channels
User Persona
Vendor Evaluation Breakdown
After evaluating 7 vendors, we found that the best fit for this use case was Freshdesk by Freshworks.
Solution Mapping
User Flow Map
Since the client is a healthcare provider, HIPAA compliance was a concern for the chatbot.
Given that a chatbot was mainly needed to address new and potential user queries, we designed the chatbot to redirect the queries of all existing clients to Zane Couseling's HIPAA compliant email server.
Therefore, if the client identifies as an existing client, the chatbot redirects them to the Zane Counseling email address.
Live Prototype
