A marzo abbiamo lanciato Inbox, il nostro strumento di supporto clienti gratuito e omnicanale per aziende di tutte le dimensioni. Da allora abbiamo continuato a parlare con gli utenti, aggiungendo nuove migliorie e riflettendo su cosa significhi la comunicazione aziendale in un mondo che è diventato improvvisamente orientato al remoto.
In March we released Inbox, our free, omnichannel customer support tool for businesses of all sizes. Since then we’ve been continuously talking to users, adding new enhancements, and thinking about what business communication means in a world that became suddenly remote-first.
Through our user interviews, we learned that our customers interact with and keep track of their customers through a bunch of different tools: e-commerce platforms, CRMs, clever spreadsheets, internal fulfillment solutions, and more.
The diversity of tools and business flows we’re observing with our customers is astonishing. We love seeing all of the unique ways our customers take advantage of Inbox and we want to keep supporting everyone as best as possible.
Costruire per aiutare tutti a ottenere il massimo da Inbox
Per mirare a un insieme così diversificato di utenti e casi d'uso, abbiamo ideato un approccio a 2 punte:
Per gli strumenti e i casi d'uso più frequenti abbiamo creato integrazioni simili a wizard - queste sono disponibili sulla nostra pagina delle integrazioni, fuori dalla scatola.
Rendere le integrazioni personalizzate più facili e più efficaci tramite le connessioni personalizzate di Flows.
Integrazioni Inbox pronte all'uso
Connessioni personalizzate tramite Flows
While we build out of the box integrations for customers to get running as quickly as possible, we also want to support customers that need to build custom integrations and behaviors.
To enable this we build Inbox directly connected with our automation tool, FlowBuilder, which can connect to any 3rd party system that exposes an API via Http Get/Fetch steps.
As long as the product you are integrating with exposes an API that allows for API key/username authentication, you can integrate it inside Inbox at 2 distinct points: Before an Inbox ticket is created or After a ticket is resolved.
Before the ticket is created
Integrating an API before an Inbox ticket is created allows you to pull data from a 3rd party system to make it available to the Inbox agent who receives the ticket
A simple example of this type of integration would be pulling data from your CRM system to ensure that the contact information for the customer is up to date before a new ticket is created for them. Most of our customers are using Inbox to open up new channels of communication to their customers, so a CRM integration is useful to give an Inbox agent full customer details, even if it’s the first time a customer is reaching out on that channel.
After the ticket is resolved
Integrating an API after a ticket is resolved allows you to take action based on the ticket that was just resolved. This can be syncing information to 3rd party systems about the particular resolution, creating reminders/follow up tasks, adding notes about the conversation, and much more.
These types of integrations can quickly get rather complex, especially since APIs are involved - so here is an example of how to connect Inbox to Zendesk.
Conclusione
Siamo davvero entusiasti di continuare ad aiutare i nostri clienti a connettersi con i loro clienti. Sapendo che Inbox è uno dei molti strumenti che i nostri clienti utilizzano in questi sforzi, continueremo a sviluppare funzionalità che rendono più facile integrare Inbox con il tuo set di strumenti esistente e agire in tutta la tua attività— tutto attraverso un unico cruscotto.
