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

  1. Intake — ticket arrives, auto-acknowledge
  2. Triage — classify, assign priority, route to agent
  3. Resolve — investigate, respond, fix
  4. Confirm closure — customer confirms resolved
  5. 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.
