You can use Gmail as a helpdesk by creating a dedicated support email account, organizing emails with categories and labels, and grouping important clients in Gmail by sender filtering. You can also speed up your work by knowing the shortcuts and automatically escalating some customer issues with forwarding filters.
However, services like Hiver help you supercharge your Gmail inbox and use it as a full-fledged helpdesk solution.
The most significant advantage of using Gmail as a helpdesk is that it helps you have personal conversations with customers. There are no ticket numbers, no robotic-looking emails, no impersonal conversations. All your customers see is a friendly email.
There is also hardly any learning curve when using Gmail as a helpdesk due to its familiar UI - no training guides, painful onboarding, long transition times, and the cognitive load of using a complex software for simple tasks.
Installing Hiver adds a layer of functionality on top of Gmail — so that customer service teams can manage emails in a structured and efficient way. Your team will be able to manage customer conversations right from their work inboxes without constantly switching between tools and tabs.
