The omnichannel customer timeline:


The omnichannel customer timeline provides agents with the complete journey of the customer before they reach out to the business. This will have all the key activities, i.e, the past interactions with the support team through various channels such as chat, phone, email, etc. With this, agents will get a swift understanding of the problem the customer has reached out for, and help them accordingly.


The timeline tab under the contact details page provides agents with all the past interactions the business has had with the customer:





Customer Notes:


Often, you and your team members might have additional details about your customers (contacts and companies). You might be using docs, spreadsheets or other tools to capture these details based on your interaction with them.


Your agents might be spending time just switching between tools and documents every time there is an auxiliary note to add. With the new Customer 360 feature, your agents can have everything they need to know about customers, within Freshdesk.


You can use the notes section to capture:

  • Implementation and/or installation details

  • Testimonials and/or reviews

  • Feature requests

  • Contract documents

  • And any piece of information that can aid your team


For some businesses, a dedicated agent might be the single point of contact for a particular contact/company. In the absence of this agent, if all the required details are captured in ‘Notes’, any other team member can jump in and seamlessly assist the customer.


This new ‘Notes’ field allows you to format the text and also lets you add attachments along with it.
