1desk-operator

1desk-operator is the mobile operator app for 1Desk. If you want to answer from a phone instead of living in the browser, this is the right tool.

Why it matters

  • answer when you are away from the computer;
  • take a conversation on the move or outside the office;
  • work with several self-hosted installations;
  • pause AI in a specific chat when needed.

Start with the sites

  • 1Desk — the product site for 1Desk itself: self-hosted AI inbox, Telegram, website widget, SeaTable, GitHub.
  • 1it.pro — the agency site for the team that implements 1Desk and builds the surrounding site, CRM, automations and integrations.

In short:

  • 1Desk — what the product is and why it matters.
  • 1it.pro — who implements it and how it fits the business.
  • 1desk-operator — what the operator uses every day.

What it is

1desk-operator connects to a selected self-hosted 1Desk installation through REST and Socket.IO. It keeps the mobile operator cabinet separate from the web admin and supports multiple servers.

How to use it

1. Install the app

Install the 1desk-operator mobile client on Android or iOS.

2. Add a server

Enter the address of your 1Desk installation. The app checks the connection and saves the server only after the probe succeeds.

3. Sign in

Then use the usual login flow:

  • email
  • password
  • TOTP 2FA if required

4. Pick a channel and conversation

After login the operator sees:

  • inboxes / channels
  • conversation list
  • the chat itself

5. Reply to the customer

You send replies directly from the phone. That is the real working flow of 1desk-operator.

6. Pause AI in a specific chat when needed

If a human is already handling the conversation, AI can be paused for that thread so the bot does not interrupt the live exchange.

7. Receive push notifications

The app can register a push token and receive notifications for new messages.

When it is useful

  • the operator is not at a desktop all day
  • you need fast replies on the move or outside the office
  • one person handles several self-hosted installations
  • you want a dedicated mobile control surface, not another browser tab
Short version

1desk-operator is the mobile working hand of 1Desk. 1Desk receives and sorts incoming messages, and the operator closes the hot conversation from a phone.
