Freshdesk is an excellent software to handle customer service processes and support tickets. Even with a free plan, you can organize your marketing and customer service processes and grow with your business. You can configure Toky and Zapier to work with Feshdesk, so every time a ticket you or your support agents close a ticket, the customer will receive a personalized SMS notification.
Your customer will be very grateful if you notify him when you close a support ticket, and also you can automate an essential process of your customer service team and avoid a step that in many cases is manual and repetitive.
