The appeal of employing an eCommerce help desk like eDesk is that it links to all of your selling and support platforms, allowing you to quickly collect all of your consumer data and fill out responses automatically.
Here, we’ll go through some of the most essential features of eDesk utilized by StaffCloud agents along with best practices to increase their productivity.
1. MAILING
On the top navigation, you’ll notice that we’re in the “Mailbox” area and all your messages from your customers are shown here.
My Tickets
We start from the My Tickets tab which is the first option at the left navigation panel. Here one can check the tickets assigned to them specifically.
To-do List
It’s a list of the new tickets that have yet to be handled by an agent.
Waiting
It includes tickets that have been received and acknowledged by the agents, but the query has yet to be settled. It’s a list of questions for which we are still waiting for further response from the customers.
Resolved
A resolved ticket implies that it is in the next-to-last stage of its lifecycle where the customer’s concern has been addressed by the agent and is waiting for the customer to acknowledge and close it. When a customer responds to you or sends another email, the ticket will be reopened in the resolved status OR it will be Closed automatically by eDesk after a specified set of hours.
2. SEARCH & FILTERS
The search bar and the filter options are at the top of the mailbox on the right corner side of the agent’s eDesk account.
An agent must first hover the mouse over the filter icon to generate a new filter or to view the existing ones.
Quick Filters
These are the default filters created according to the marketplaces. It appears at the top in the filter section when we hover the mouse on the filter icon.
Create New Filter
An agent can create a filter depending upon the different conditions like a marketplace, ticket type, the status of the ticket, agents etc.
It allows an agent to see a comprehensive list of tickets of similar types.
3. TAGS
Tagging tickets enables us to categorize the tickets as per different criteria like a marketplace, query type, team, etc. and one of the best ways to organize the ticket queue.
