Updated September 2026 · Reviewed by [Issabela Masters](https://assistbpo.com/team/issabela-masters/) ## Why do Talkdesk users need a virtual assistant? Talkdesk is a pleasure to run and quick to configure, which is why growing teams pick it and then outgrow their own staffing. Studio flows get built in an afternoon, ring groups get created for every department, SMS and chat get switched on, and six months later the same three people are trying to cover all of it. Live shows a queue with nobody available. Explore shows dispositions missing on a third of calls. An assistant closes that gap without another platform purchase. They work in Talkdesk Workspace on a seat you own, answer the ring groups you assign in your company name, reply on SMS and chat between calls, set a disposition and a note on every contact, clear callbacks, and work approved Dialer lists with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. Your account, your numbers, your recordings. ## What can a virtual assistant do inside Talkdesk? **Talkdesk Workspace** : Signs in on the seat you own, sets status correctly, takes the ring groups and channels you assign and finishes the notes and disposition cards before going available again. **Inbound calls and transfers** : Answers in your company name, uses warm transfers and agent to agent calls so the next person hears the reason, and returns abandoned calls inside your callback window. **Digital channels** : Replies to SMS, web chat and email from approved templates, keeps threads on the same customer record and honors opt-out requests the same day they arrive. **Dispositions and notes** : Sets a disposition from your published set on every contact and writes a note a supervisor can read later, so Explore reports describe what happened rather than what was convenient. **Talkdesk Dialer** : Works approved lists in preview mode with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing, calls only inside local calling hours and reports numbers that should be retired from the list. **Studio flows and business hours** : Documents your flows, ring groups and business hours, tests each path monthly from an outside line and sends changes in writing for your admin to publish. **Copilot and Agent Assist** : Uses the assist panel where you have it enabled, checks the summary against what was actually agreed and corrects it before it reaches the customer record. **Live and Explore reporting** : Watches the Live dashboard during the shift for queues going unanswered, pulls Explore reports weekly on service level, abandon rate and disposition mix, and writes a short note on what changed. ## Integrations we handle - Talkdesk and [Salesforce](https://assistbpo.com/software/salesforce/) Works in Talkdesk for Salesforce so the record opens on answer and the call, disposition and next step are written straight onto the lead or case. - Talkdesk and [Zendesk](https://assistbpo.com/software/zendesk/) Creates or updates the Zendesk ticket during the call through the Talkdesk integration and attaches the recording and notes to it. - Talkdesk and [Shopify](https://assistbpo.com/software/shopify/) Opens the customer order in Shopify while they are on the line, confirms the shipment or refund status and records what was promised. - Talkdesk and [Zoho CRM](https://assistbpo.com/software/zoho-crm/) Logs calls and outcomes on the Zoho record through the Talkdesk integration and creates the follow-up task for the record owner. - Talkdesk and [Microsoft Teams](https://assistbpo.com/software/microsoft-teams/) Checks presence in the Teams directory before transferring, so an expert who is in a meeting is not handed a live caller. - Talkdesk and [Slack](https://assistbpo.com/software/slack/) Posts missed calls, escalations and shift handovers to the channel you nominate with the contact link and one line of context. ## Which Talkdesk admin tasks can you delegate?

They sign in to Talkdesk Workspace on your account, set status to available and take the ring groups you assigned. Calls are answered in your company name, then closed out with a disposition and a note before the next one arrives. Between calls they reply on SMS and web chat, work the email queue and return abandoned calls inside your callback window. Approved Dialer lists are worked in preview mode with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. The shift ends with a handover note and the day's numbers from Live and Explore. ### Do you have Talkdesk certified agents? Talkdesk runs training and certification aimed at administrators and developers rather than outsourced agents, so there is nothing of that sort for us to claim and we do not. Our staff train on Talkdesk before joining a client account: Workspace and statuses, ring groups and transfers, disposition sets and notes, SMS and chat handling, callbacks, the Dialer modes you permit and the Live and Explore reports a supervisor reads. Training ends with supervised live calls scored by a team lead. AssistBPO holds no Talkdesk partner, reseller or affiliate status. ### How much does a Talkdesk virtual assistant cost? Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. Voice coverage is staffed from our Front desk & phones desk and priced per person for a block of monthly hours in your time zone. SMS, chat and email coverage comes from our Customer support desk on the same per person basis, with after-hours and weekend blocks added separately. You supply the Talkdesk seat, which is the only license the assistant needs, and we neither resell it nor add a markup. ### How do we set the assistant up in our Talkdesk account? Your admin invites the assistant as a user, assigns the role, the ring groups and the channels they should work, and keeps control of Studio flows, numbers, recording settings and billing. The assistant signs in from a managed device with multi-factor authentication under their own login, so every call, disposition and recording is attributed to them in Explore. Our staff are employed, background-checked and under NDA. Deactivating the user ends access immediately and leaves your flows, numbers and data exactly as they were. ### Can the assistant cover SMS, chat and email as well as calls? Yes, and most clients blend them on one seat. Your admin decides which channels route to the assistant and how many conversations they may carry at once. In practice voice is the priority channel, SMS and chat are answered between calls from templates you approve, and email is worked in the quieter intervals. Outbound SMS goes only to people who gave lawful consent, with do-not-call and opt-out lists scrubbed first and STOP requests actioned the same day. Anything unresolved at the end of a shift is handed over in writing rather than closed. ### How do you handle recording, consent and quality? Recording follows the settings in your account, and the assistant gives the notice each country requires before the conversation moves on. In the United States the stricter two-party consent states are treated as the default; in the UK, Canada and Australia the caller is told at the start. Card details are never spoken onto a recorded line, so payments go through your portal. Recordings stay in your Talkdesk account under your retention policy, and our team lead reviews a sample each month against the scorecard you approved. Next step ## Your desk, staffed.
