Exclusive ASAP SDK demo app for customers


The ASAP SDK demo app offers a visual prototype of the final application by replicating the original wireframes with interactive elements.

Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about
