Customer Support Workflow Planner
Map a simple support workflow from enquiry to closure — spot handoff and escalation gaps.
Summary
A useful support workflow covers: intake → triage → resolve → confirm closure → feedback. Every step needs a named owner.
Define each support stage, owner, and target time.
Total target time
—
Stages without owner
—
Default support workflow
- Intake — ticket arrives, auto-acknowledge
- Triage — classify, assign priority, route to agent
- Resolve — investigate, respond, fix
- Confirm closure — customer confirms resolved
- Feedback — CSAT ask / thumbs-up-down
Common gaps to fix
- Triage step skipped — agents pick what they like
- No closure confirmation — tickets marked "resolved" but customer still stuck
- Feedback collected but never reviewed
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a helpdesk to run this?
No. A shared inbox + a simple spreadsheet works up to ~30 tickets/week. Upgrade when volume breaks the inbox.
