Team Feeds - The New Way to Collaborate
Collaboration is an important aspect of customer support. When you need to resolve a customer issue, convey a bug in the product, or raise a feature request, you use the power of collaboration with your team to achieve the goal. For this purpose, tools that help you to get involved in the discussions and share your ideas can be very useful and time-saving.
The Team Feeds feature in Zoho Desk provides a platform where you can openly share your views and discuss matters with co-workers to speed up the customer support process. Feeds will also provide updates about important customers and tickets that you follow.
With Feeds in your Zoho Desk account, you can:
- Post messages to share with all of the users in your organization.
- Tag a ticket (#ticketID) or an agent (@name) in your status messages.
- Send private Direct Messages to your colleagues.
- Comment on status messages and reply to private messages.
- Close and re-open tickets and activities.
- Receive Zoho Desk notifications for mentions and changes made to tickets in your department.
- Receive instant mobile notification of actions that are related to you.
