Kayako
Kayako is a customer support platform with shared inbox, live chat, and help center tools designed to give agents full context on every customer conversation.
What is Kayako?
Kayako is one of the older names in the customer support software market, founded in India in 2001 by Varun Shoor and initially known for a self-hosted helpdesk product that gave small businesses their first affordable ticketing system. The company made the transition to cloud SaaS in the mid-2010s with Kayako Classic giving way to the modern Kayako platform, which added a unified inbox across email, live chat, and social and a customer journey timeline that shows every interaction a contact has had with the company. The product has found particular traction in technology companies and professional services firms.
The platform's architecture centres on the Conversation — an aggregated thread that includes email exchanges, live chat transcripts, internal notes, and file attachments in chronological order. Real Presence shows agents when a customer is actively typing a reply or browsing the help centre, adding conversational context to email interactions that feel less immediate. The Help Centre is the knowledge base component, used for both customer self-service and agent reference. Kayako integrates with Salesforce, Slack, Stripe, and Zapier, with a public API for custom integrations.
Kayako platform problems manifest in ways that affect both the agent experience and the customer-facing touchpoints. The agent inbox fails to load conversations or shows a blank state, preventing any ticket handling. New email conversations from customers stop arriving while existing conversations are visible but unable to accept new replies. The live chat widget on customer websites fails to initialise, presenting customers with a broken or missing support option. Knowledge base articles return errors or fail to render search results, removing the self-service fallback. Agent logins fail with authentication errors when the identity backend is degraded.
Outage.gg tracks Kayako platform status using real-time community reports from customer support teams. If the inbox is not loading, email is not routing, or chat is down, the live status page shows current impact.
