We are here and ready to help.

2022.10.05 Supportbench release

Highlighted Features:

We wanted to take Supportbench to the next level when it comes to delivering the best customer experience possible.

So, within this highlighted feature section, we're going to talk about two brand new integrations we've just finished. Both are going to be wicked for our clients that use these softwares.

Firstly: Our native Intercom integration.  This is probably the easiest setup we have, simply navigate to Configuration > Integration > Intercom, click the big Slack button and follow the prompts. Easy.

Here's the breakdown: 
 

  • Initiated chats will get created as cases.
  • Chats are created as chat activities with the chat summary within it.
  • Offline chats within Intercom are converted into cases and sent into the default queue.
  • Chat surveys are recorded against the activity for dashboard and analytics.

 

Next, we have our Azure DevOps Integration. Here's the breakdown:

The Supportbench to Azure DevOps integration helps to optimize the communication channels between users of DevOps and those within Customer support.  When DevOps is installed, the integration allows:
 

  • Multi-organizations
  • Multi-projects
  • Subscriptions for real-time case updates on DevOps changes
  • Creation of DevOps work items within cases
  • Linking of DevOps items to cases
  • Creation of DevOps work items within workflows
  • Attachment uploads to DevOps work items
  • Real-time status of DevOps work items within cases and case views
  • Ability to map DevOps fields to Supportbench fields
  • Set DevOps work item defaults


To catch the setup, head to our knowledgebase here: ar-232 - Azure DevOps (supportbench.net)
