WordPress 6.0+ · SLA tracking · email piping · CSAT surveys

A complete support desk inside WordPress.

Tickets with SLA tracking, email piping, satisfaction surveys, and a self-service portal. Customers submit through your site, your team works from the dashboard, and everyone gets email at every step.

the gist

Support requests that never fall through the cracks

Customers submit tickets through your website, by email, or via the REST API. SLA timers for first response and resolution start automatically by priority, the assigned agent is notified, and status updates flow both ways. Customer replies reopen tickets, and resolved tickets auto-close after your configured period.

It joins the tools you already run
