Transitioning from Freshdesk to Onsite Support is a breeze, facilitated by a user-friendly setup and convenient import tools. In little time, you'll be operational, and poised to leverage the Support Funnel and provide swift, personalized customer support.
Tickets in Onsite
If you're already using Freshdesk, you're accustomed to tickets - and you can seamlessly carry on with them in Onsite. Now, let's explore some of the key features of tickets in Onsite:
Link and Merge Objects in the Tickets:
Link tickets or chats to a ticket effortlessly by clicking on this icon.
Merge tickets and chats into a single ticket with a simple click here.
Utilizing Canned Responses in the Tickets/Chats:
You can use pre-written responses (Canned Responses) for common queries.
You can use canned responses by following the below steps:
1. Click on the Three-dots Icon on the right as shown below.
2. Click the Canned Responses.
3. Select the Canned response you want to use.
Alternatively, you can Type # on your Keyboard and type in the canned-response snippet.
You can Create Canned Responses as well.
Bring over your macros:
When transitioning from Freshdesk, you'll also gain the ability to create dynamic macros. These macros allow support agents to efficiently update request properties and send predefined replies with just one click. Utilizing macros can significantly streamline responses to similar requests, saving agents time and effort in their daily tasks.
Set Up Automation Rules:
Similar to Freshdesk, Onsite also offers automation tailored to your workflow, as detailed below.
For instance, we've crafted an automation where tickets sourced from Amazon are automatically tagged with the label "Amazon."
