Managing your Twitter Channel
Zoho Desk allows you to add your company's Twitter account and monitor the tweets from within your help desk. You can also convert the tweets to tickets when required. The conversation between you and your Twitter customers will be added as threads in the ticket. While your Support Manager will configure your Twitter account under Setup, here are the actions you can perform under the Social tab.
- Monitor real-time activity such as favorites, tweets, retweets, messages and mentions of your brand on Twitter
- View the Twitter profile of your contacts and the recent tweets from a user
- View your customers' Twitter followers and people whom they are following
- Respond to a tweet in not more than 140 characters
- Convert a tweet into a support ticket and respond over emails without the character limit.
- View the conversation that happened over a tweet
- Retweet a tweet to pass on a critical support solution to your customer community
- Associate Twitter profiles with the contacts in your help desk
- Mark tweets as Favorite
- Search Twitter on relevant subjects using keywords
Note:
- The Twitter integration is available only for the Contacts module.
- There is no limitation on the number of users who can access this feature.
- Agents can access the Social tab only if they have the Social Module permission activated in their profiles. By default, this permission is enabled for the agents with standard profiles.
