Organize your Mailbox
Managing tags
Using tags to categorize conversations is the optimal method for identifying patterns, conducting future analysis, or assigning the conversation to the appropriate team member.
Workflow Automation
Workflow automation is like having a helpful assistant in customer support. It simplifies tasks, meets deadlines, and keeps everything organized. By automating processes, it saves time and makes sure customers get quick responses. This boosts efficiency and keeps customers happy.
Canned responses
Canned responses streamline repetitive FAQs, saving you from repeatedly typing the same answers and maintaining a pleasant tone.
Add Live Chat Assistant
The Assistant enables you to engage with your customers directly within your application or website – a feature you're likely familiar with! There are multiple methods available for installing the Assistant, and although it's a relatively swift process, it does require access to your codebase or integration through tools like Google Tag Manager.
