Job 05 of 07 · Customers and email

Whoever picks up the message already has the whole story

When a student emails or chats about their course, the office sees the message, their bookings, forms and payments on one screen. One shared inbox with assignment, saved replies and reply times. The customer's orders, bookings, forms, messages, notes and tasks sit beside it.

A customer's question about a team sailing day for 10 people, and the office's reply.

Live chat on your website

A question asked after the office shuts is waiting for you in the morning

Visitors message you from any page. Your replies reach their phone. Chats land in the same inbox as your email.

A visitor asks on your course page

Someone on the Competent Crew page has never sailed and worries about seasickness. Emma is in the office, so she answers in the chat window two minutes later. They never leave the page.

The office answers from the inbox

Daniel asked where to park at 21:47, after the office shut. Emma finds his chat in the inbox, with his booking beside it. Her reply reaches his phone, and the chat stays on his record.

Questions

About the inbox and email

Can more than one person work the inbox?

Yes. Each message can be assigned to someone, everyone sees who is answering what, and you can see how long replies are taking.

Can we change what the automatic emails say?

Yes. You write the wording and choose when each one goes. Nothing goes out until you switch it on.

What happens to our old emails and customer notes?

If you use Help Scout or Capsule, we bring that history across, so each customer's past emails and notes sit on their record. We run the import with you and you check it before you switch.

All questions

Reminders by text, sent by Keely, with a monthly allowance for each school.
