As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, incoming ticket volume has surged on the Freshworks platform — doubling in affected industries in March 2020 as compared to March 2019. Today’s integration with Slack helps address this surge by providing a frictionless way for agents to respond and resolve inquiries quickly. Now, inside Slack, support agents can directly collaborate with teammates in other departments, such as billing, sales, and logistics, to secure relevant information and take immediate action to close tickets and improve the customer experience.
