✨ Product Spotlight ✨
Introducing our newest feature, Ticket Templates, for more streamlined support processes. The power of Ticket Templates comes from supplying agents with outlined tickets, eliminating the need for them to compose a new message each time. Agents quickly complete any required fields in the template to create tickets in just a few clicks.

Build an unbeatable blueprint for support
Configure unlimited templates for your teams, decreasing the number of steps involved in manual ticket creation, reducing the risk of human error, and freeing your team up to concentrate on problem-solving.

Cover all your core processes with pre-defined fields that include Ticket Message, Brand, Department, Status, User, Language, Labels, Custom Fields, Assignment, and more.
Manage Facebook comments
Previously, our Facebook channel was limited to managing DMs received by your page.

You can now easily share direct links to tickets with colleagues by using Reference Codes in URLs for faster navigation, which works in addition to using Ticket IDs to send ticket links.
Smarter Snippet & Macro menus
Your Snippet and Macro menus will remember the last category you viewed when next opened.
