Webhooks and Automations!

While we’re secretly working in the background on improving our service… We wanted to remind you of a feature that you should be using as well as how to increase adoption.

Webhooks // Toast Notifications. 

Toast notifications (Webhooks) can be enabled for the majority of the PSAs.  Enabling webhooks will allow you to proactively send a customer status changes in their ticket. We will send the customer a notification anytime a technician changes the status of their ticket until completion. (Toast notifications are the ones that pop up on the bottom right of the taskbar)

Increasing client adoption (reduce phone calls!)

We’ve taken the time to expand and rework some of our best practices. I know it can be quite long, but 10 minutes today, will save you a lifetime of headaches.  https://docs.tier2tickets.com/content/general/bestpractices/?highlight=best%20practices

Automations

We’ve reached out to Alex’s PC Solutions and they have graciously provided us with a few ai automation examples. These automations will provide the customer with a form link for the corresponding categories (one for equipment purchase, new hire, and employee termination.) Make sure you edit out ******************FORMLINK*************** with the corresponding form.

categories = ["equipment purchase", "new hire", "termination"]
result = ai_categorize(msg, categories)

if 'new hire' in result['matches']:
  tier2assist.append({'msg': 'If you are looking to add a new employee please fill out this form.', 'action': '******************FORMLINK***************' + ticketID})

if 'equipment purchase' in result['matches']:
  tier2assist.append({'msg': 'If you are looking to purchase some new equipment please fill out this form.', 'action': '******************FORMLINK***************' + ticketID})

if 'termination' in result['matches']:
  tier2assist.append({'msg': 'If you are looking to terminate an employee please fill out this form.', 'action': '******************FORMLINK***************' + ticketID})

Use the button as a selling tool!

When visiting a customer, make sure you take your Helpdesk Button and use it as a selling tool! Believe us, it lands extremely well when you tell a customer that they can submit a ticket easily by pressing a button! If you do not have a set of buttons, reply to this email saying so and we’ll have a pair of demo buttons sent over to you.
