Getting Started with cStar in 5 Minutes

Setting up a support tool usually involves a sales call, a 3-week implementation, and a consultant named Greg. cStar takes about 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create Your Team (30 seconds)

Head to cstar.help/team/signup and create your account. You'll pick your hero name and your team name. That's it.

Step 2: Add the Chat Widget (60 seconds)

After signup, you'll see your widget embed code. One script tag:

<script src="https://www.cstar.help/cstar.js?team=your-team-slug"></script>

Add it before the closing </body> tag on your site. Done.

Step 3: Explore Your Dashboard

Your dashboard is your home base — followed tickets on the left, conversation view in the center, details on the right. The top bar shows your level, XP, gold, streaks, and boss kills.

Step 4: Set Up Your Knowledge Base

Head to Library and create articles organized by category. Toggle "Public" to make them visible at cstar.help/library/your-team.
