To manage technical support for your white label reseller clients in Papo (https://papo.global/), you use the same teams, inboxes, and custom permissions features that organize your internal operation, but applied in a way that isolates and structures each client as an independent service hub — all under your brand.
In a white label reseller, your clients depend on you to answer questions, solve problems, and learn how to use the platform. If these requests get mixed with the operational conversations your clients have with their own end consumers, it creates confusion that harms everyone. The solution is to create a dedicated, segmented support environment, using Papo's own structure to separate technical support from each client's sales and service operation.
Practical summary of the support structure
| Element | Application in technical support | Benefit for the reseller |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated teams | Group support agents by level or specialty | Centralizes technical requests with the right team |
| Exclusive inboxes | Separate channels for support (e.g., help desk email, support WhatsApp) | Prevents questions from getting lost among operational conversations |
| Custom permissions | Access control for clients to their own environment and for agents to support | Each client sees only their tickets; support sees all of them in an organized way |
| Inbox summary | View of open, resolved, and unassigned conversations | Prioritizes urgent demands and distributes workload among support agents |
Why structure support separately
Without a defined structure, technical support can happen informally and reactively: you or a member of your team uses a personal WhatsApp, a direct email, or an improvised group to serve clients. As the reseller grows, this model becomes unsustainable. Requests get lost, response times increase, and your clients' experience with your brand is compromised.
By creating official, dedicated support channels within your white label reseller, you professionalize the relationship. This lets you record, track, and resolve each request in an organized way, without your support team needing to access the conversations your clients have with their end consumers. Each client's operation remains private, and support gains a clear, scalable workflow.
How to structure support for reseller clients
1. Create a dedicated support team
In the Papo dashboard, create one or more teams dedicated exclusively to technical support. For example, a team called "Reseller Technical Support" groups all agents who will serve your clients. If your operation is larger, you can create teams by level (N1, N2) to perform efficient triage.
2. Configure support inboxes for each client or for all
You have two main approaches, which can be combined:
- Support inbox per client: Create a dedicated inbox for each client (e.g., "Support - Clínica Vida", "Support - Loja Bella"). This is ideal if each contract requires confidentiality and highly personalized service. Associate the support team with this inbox and, if desired, invite the client to have access only to this inbox, using permissions, so they can open and track their own tickets.
- General support inbox: Create a single inbox for the entire reseller (e.g., "Help Center - Your Brand"), using channels such as email or a WhatsApp number dedicated to support. Internal organization is done with labels and assignments to identify which client each conversation belongs to.
3. Apply permissions to isolate access
Once the teams and inboxes are configured, use custom permissions to define exactly what each agent and client can see. A support team agent can have access to all support inboxes, while an end client of your reseller only sees their own ticket inbox, maintaining isolation between the brands you serve.
4. Use the inbox summary to manage the flow
Papo's Inbox provides a summary with the total number of open, resolved, and unassigned conversations. For the support team, this view is essential to quickly identify whether there are accumulated demands, whether any client has many open tickets, and whether the workload is well distributed among agents.
When this structure becomes indispensable
- Marketing agencies that manage the platform for dozens of accounts and need a single support point.
- Software houses that include the platform in their portfolio and need a formal help desk for their business clients.
- Consultancies that deliver the tool along with a methodology and need to maintain support quality as part of the service.
- Franchises and networks that need to support franchisees in using the platform, separating this from end-consumer service for each unit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same WhatsApp number for support and for my clients' sales?
It is not recommended. Ideally, create separate inboxes with distinct channels, precisely so support conversations do not get mixed with the sales and service interactions your clients have with end consumers.
How can my clients open a support ticket?
They can use the channel you define for the support inbox, such as a help desk email, a WhatsApp number dedicated to support, or the chat widget on a client portal, if you provide one.
Can I limit a support agent's access so they only see tickets from a specific client?
Yes. By associating the agent only with the inboxes of the clients they should serve, they will not be able to view conversations or data from other clients of your reseller.
Is it mandatory to create a support team?
It is not mandatory in the sense that the platform requires a formal team, but it is the most organized practice. Creating a team lets you manage the support group independently, make conversation assignment easier, and generate support team productivity reports separately.
How does the reseller administrator monitor all support?
The administrator can have view access to all support inboxes, using the inbox summary and the conversation overview to monitor volume, response time, and the quality of service provided to each client.
