Work with Agent Contact Forms
Table of Contents
Agent Contact Forms are forms your customers can use to contact you, directly from the system tray. They are one of the many Policy Modules available in Syncro.
You can use Agent Contact Forms to create more automation within your business, and make communication with your customers easier.
You can create different forms for specific scenarios applicable to your business. For example, you could create one form for customers to use only in “emergency” situations, and another for a “normal” Ticket creation or during “weekend” hours. You can even use different logos in each form to make things clearer for your customers.
Tip: The power of this feature is evident in the Ticket automation aspect. When a customer submits the form, Syncro can automatically generate a Ticket in your account. See Automatically Create a Ticket From the System Tray for details.
