Configuring Zoho BugTracker Integration
Efficient issue management is the key to the success of any engineering team. In fact, your customers expect a lot from the software you develop, and they provide the best possible feedback. Unless the bugs (read feedback) are resolved and managed efficiently, customer happiness takes a hit. A Bug Tracking Software such as Zoho BugTracker comes to the rescue. With several tools to resolve bugs, track progress and administer workflows, Zoho BugTracker is a perfect service to manage your bugs. You will be able to provide better customer service by extending an opportunity for customers to report bugs to your engineering team.
Support teams can quickly submit customer tickets as bugs in the Zoho BugTracker. Once submitted, your agents can track the real-time status of the bugs and collaborate with your engineers—all from within Zoho Desk. Also, your engineers can have a complete view of customer conversations related to a bug. They can collaborate with your support team to resolve issues—without having to leave Zoho BugTracker.
