Can we use Pipedrive to manage customer support tickets too? We want to use single tool to manage, customer data is centralized and updated.

    In a way, but not possible without arm-twisting the platform.

    Create a separate pipeline for support tickets and treat deals as support tickets.

    I talked with my customer success manager a while ago about this.
    Like Amit said, it's possible just by creating the pipelines.

    Its a shame because with only a few tweaks by the DEVS Pipedrive could accomodate this demand a lot better.

    Allow us to set the pipeline as SUPPORT or POST SALES and get rid of the Value. Maybe change icons, get rid of products and allow us to have a custom fields ruleset for this pipelines.

    I mean, everything you need is there - just missing a few tweaks to make it perfect for the use case.

    Hi @Akshay Gupta !

     

    It's possible to use Pipedrive as a Customer Support management tool but like @Direção Fibersals and @Amit Sarda mentioned, you'll need to be creative with the way you use certain features that were built from the point of view of a CRM :) Our Workflow Automation feature might be a good ally in that.

     

    Additionally, I suggest you check out the Customer Support integrations we have in our marketplace, all of them integrate with Pipedrive - take a look here and see what works best for you.

     

    This article in out blog might have some useful tips for you too: Why (and How) Sales and Customer Service Teams Should Be Aligned.

    Hi @Direção Fibersals, thank you for your feedback!

    Right now there are no concrete short term plans to make these changes. Unfortunately with many customers and requests and with limited development resources we need to prioritise and make choices what to deliver first. We will make sure however our team will consider your suggestions but we can never make any promises.

    Speaking of which, here’s how to stay on top of what’s coming down the line:

    We'd love to ditch freshdesk, we already can do almost everything we need for a CRM, sales, close, and projects. We'd love to support customers out of this as well. Is this something PipeDrive is considering? A ticketing system would be a dream.

    Yes, ticketing system would be great. Happy to pay extra for it so we are fully immersed in the Pipedrive universe.
