Benefits of Web to Slack

Syncing your dashboard or website messaging system with Slack can truly revolutionize your customer service. Here are some advantages:

  • Increased productivity: Removing the middleman from your customer connections means that your service agents will save valuable time on having to switch between tools and applications.
  • Increased employee satisfaction: Thena’s wide range of automation and workflows reduce the need for monotonous tasks and help your employees focus their efforts on more important and enjoyable tasks.
  • Shorter response times: Customer requests can be addressed faster and more efficiently by helping your service agents review all tasks in a centralized hub. Managing tickets straight from Slack allows teams to collaborate more efficiently, finding problem solutions quickly.

Enhanced customer satisfaction: With built-in auto responses, end-users can be notified about the receipt of their requests and manage expectations about resolution times. Customers can have peace of mind about their issue management, boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Revolutionize your customer service

Thena’s intelligent Slack integration allows customers to submit requests through your web platform and directly route these to your service agents on Slack. Your end-users can even submit customer requests anonymously if the functionality is enabled through the web app. 

Our intelligent tool streamlines your support processes, redirecting customer messages to dedicated Slack channels so your team can resolve them all from the same place. With the help of Thena’s Slack integration, customer agents can reply to requests straight from Thena’s Kanban view or directly on the Slack thread, saving valuable time.

If your client is a member of one of your Slack Connect channels, the messages will also automatically sync to the relevant Slack channel to remove duplicates, collect conversation history, and speed up processing.
