Customer Support AutomationPurpose
1.2. Ensure no customer inquiries or complaints remain pending, improving response times and customer satisfaction.
1.3. Provide multi-channel reminders (email, SMS, push, chat) for support agents or managers for every outstanding ticket across various helpdesk platforms.
1.4. Reduce manual tracking, missed follow-ups, and improve overall SLA adherence in support operations.
Trigger Conditions
2.2. New comment or status change triggers workflow if ticket still marked as open or pending.
2.3. High-priority or VIP client tickets with outstanding status escalate reminders at tighter intervals.
