Email notifications


 
Email notification to caller when technicians get assigned or changed - A simple example is when a new case is generated, and the helpdesk manager assigns it to a new technician. As soon as it is saved and exited out of the case, SupportCalls automatically send out the notification email to caller (using a customizable template) informing about the assignment of the new technician. If existing technicians are changed, the same notification would trigger and the caller is updated to put on the communication loop.

Email notification to caller when a case is closed - When a technician marked a support case as fixed, it is closed and move to the 'Resolved cases' folder. At the same time, a notification email is send out automatically to the caller (using a customizable template) informing about the closure of the case.

Email notification to assigned technicians when a closed case is reopened - This scenario would happen when the caller reply back to a support case that had been already marked as resolved in Outlook/Exchange. SupportCalls would then automatically reopen the case and sent notification email to the assigned technicians. When reopened, the particular case would be moved from the 'Resolved Cases' folder to the 'Ongoing Cases' folder.

Email notification to assigned technicians when the due date of the case is about to overdue - This scenario would happen when the caller reply back to a support case that had been already marked as resolved in Outlook/Exchange. SupportCalls would then automatically reopen the case and sent notification email to the assigned technicians. When reopened, the particular case would be moved from the 'Resolved Cases' folder to the 'Ongoing Cases' folder.

Email notification to technicians when a case is assigned - An automatic notification email would be sent out to the assigned technicians when cases are assigned. This includes for technicians assigned automatically due to relationship defined between a default technician and a problem type/caller such as support request submitted via web form or when existing a caller sends an email.

Email notification to concerned technicians when caller replies back - During the course of support case, there most probably would be many email communications to and fro between the helpdesk and the caller. So, when a caller replies back, SupportCalls then processes the emails and links it to the appropriate support case number. Optionally, SupportCalls can be configured to send notification email to the concerned technicians informing about the arrival of replies from the caller, thus giving reducing response time to the support request case.
