Introducing ‘Private Messaging’ to Strengthen Your Enquiry Management

Are you a fan of team sport like Football, Cricket, Baseball, or Rugby?

Let’s go with Football for now. Have you ever noticed the subtle hand gestures between the players to indicate where they are going to pass the ball? The crowd is unaware, but that secret signal lets the players co-ordinate and communicate their message with one another without shouting out loud.  

Wouldn't it be great if your customer support team had a similar secret "signal"? A way to communicate and strategize while assisting customers? That is exactly what private messaging provides.

‍What is Private Messaging?

Think of private messaging as a hidden walkie-talkie system just for your internal team.

While dealing with customer enquiries in the CINNOX chatroom, your team members can:

• Chat with each other privately.
• Share ideas and brainstorm solutions.
• Ask for help from experts.

The customer remains unaware of these internal discussions. It is a secret collaboration tool residing within the CINNOX Chatroom. It allows your team to quickly and quietly discuss the best way to help the customer in real-time.
