The Deskpro Digest: November 2023

This edition is packed full of exciting updates to our platform. With three new time-tracking apps and a brand-new feature that standardizes your support processes, managing your workload with Deskpro has become even more efficient.

November in Numbers

In November, our development team pushed over 100 updates of features, polish, and bug fixes to product.

✨ Product Spotlight ✨

Introducing our newest feature, Ticket Templates, for more streamlined support processes. The power of Ticket Templates comes from supplying agents with outlined tickets, eliminating the need for them to compose a new message each time. Agents quickly complete any required fields in the template to create tickets in just a few clicks.

Build an unbeatable blueprint for support

Configure unlimited templates for your teams, decreasing the number of steps involved in manual ticket creation, reducing the risk of human error, and freeing your team up to concentrate on problem-solving.

Cover all your core processes with pre-defined fields that include Ticket Message, Brand, Department, Status, User, Language, Labels, Custom Fields, Assignment, and more.

Manage Facebook comments

Previously, our Facebook channel was limited to managing DMs received by your page.

Now, comments left on posts convert into tickets in Deskpro for seamless management!

We've added the option to apply hyperlinks to inline images in tickets.

Select the image in the reply box, click the URL symbol in the formatting tools, and attach the link.

Insert Snippets on Mobile

While you could apply Snippets via shortcode, we have also added the "Insert Snippet" button on the iOS and Android apps to let you search your Snippets and give more flexibility.
