Zap Helpdesk solution enhances and extends out-of-box email-to-case functionality in Dynamics 365 CRM. The Out-of-box email-to-case is too basic in-terms of functionality and far too complicated to setup…On the other hand, Zap Helpdesk app has tons and tons of features to fully automate your email based support process.

Recently we have added 2 new features:

  1. Ability for Support Agent to reply quickly from Case form using Quick-Email-Reply section
  2. Canned responses to reduce unnecessary typing for support agents and boost productivity (refer blog link)

In this blog, we will go through the current steps that Support agent has to go-through in-order to reply back to Customer from Case-form and how we improve this process using “Quick Email Reply” section provided by Zap Helpdesk Solution.

Do you know how many clicks does your support agent go-through, in-order to send email reply back to customer from Case form? (check the below screenshot)

If I say that it is now possible to send email reply from case form in less than 5 clicks… Would you believe?

 

Let me show you how Zap Helpdesk – Email to Case App: “Quick Email Reply” feature makes this possssible!!

Scenario:
=> Customer is unable to download product catalogue from your company website…
=> So raises a support case by sending email to your support mailbox ( eg support@zapobjects.com).
=> Zap Helpdesk App creates the case and notifies the support team / agent of this new case creation.
For a more detailed use-cases refer blog: How to design a customer support process (email based) when using Dynamics 365 for Customer Service?

=>Now support agent opens the case record and scrolls down to “Quick Email Reply” section…

“Quick Email Reply” section consist of: Email editor and Drag-and-Drop attachments control which have been embedded directly in the case form as shown in screenshots below:

All fields in the quick email reply section (From, To, email subject, email body) have been auto-populated… there by speeding up the time needed to compose an email!!! Further, user can also use multiple canned responses by directly inserting them in email as shown in screenshot below…there by reducing the need for typing anything.

As you can see that “Quick Email Reply” feature can drastically reduce the number of clicks needed to compose email from within CRM and boost your support agent’s productivity by more than 50%!
