Help Links is a feature designed specifically for Super Admins (Platform Owners) of Self-Hosted ChatbotX. This feature allows you to create and customize support links (such as help documentation, technical support portals, contact pages) displayed at the bottom of the left sidebar of all workspaces (sub-accounts) on your self-hosted instance. This helps self-hosting administrators build a unified support experience under their own brand, directing users to their own custom knowledge base or customer care portal instead of default system documentation. To access the Help Links configuration page: From the Admin Dashboard, select Help Links under the Platform section on the left sidebar.

  • URL: Enter the destination URL where users will be redirected when clicking the link (e.g., https://chatbotx.io/docs/vi/introduction).
  • Icon (optional): Enter the icon name from the Lucide Icons library to show in front of the link name (e.g., circle-info, book-open, star, help-circle). You can click the Browse Lucide icons link to search for suitable icons.

Save the Link

Click Save to complete the creation.

​
Display Position on User Workspaces

After successfully configuring and saving the link, when users log in to their workspace (sub-account), they will see these help links appear directly at the bottom of the left sidebar (just below the Settings menu). Users can simply click these links to quickly open the support portal you configured in a new browser tab.

Best Practices and Notes

You can create multiple Help Links to categorize different support channels (e.g., one link for the User Guide and another link pointing to a live support chat or error reporting form).
Make sure the URL you enter begins with a standard protocol like http:// or https:// to prevent local routing errors from breaking the link.
