Custom Contact FieldsΒΆ

This feature add-on makes it possible to create new customer dynamic fields, which can store customer data from integrated external customer databases as contacts in a ticket. In an additional configuration interface, it is possible to define whether the new dynamic field type should:

  • Store one or more customers.
  • Add an additional navigation option in the external interface.
  • Include additional contacts in the ticket communication.
  • Restrict the adding of new contacts based on customer number or postal codes.
  • Be filterable for certain attributes.

Furthermore, event-based notifications can now be configured to be sent to contacts that are stored in the ticket.

This feature add-on is perfect for all businesses that have to deal with different groups of customers, partners or sub-contractors, as it adds, in addition to the Customer Information Center, a second possibility for storing customer data in a ticket and including it in communication processes.
