Have AFAS Support also look via GotoAssist
It may be the case that an AFAS Support employ wants to share your screen via GotoAssist. Costs may be linked to this method.
There are two options in using GotoAssist. You use GotoAssist on your own system or your network administrator can roll out GotoAssist in the organisation. For this, you use GotoAssist Corporate.
To start your session, go to:
- https://klant.afas.nl/meekijken (Dutch customers)
- https://klant.afas.be/meekijken (Belgian customers, Flemish)
- https://client.afas.be/support (Belgian customers, Walloon)
- Enter your code and start the session.
Below you will find an overview with frequently asked questions about GotoAssist. You can also consult the questions on the GotoAssist website.
