🚀 Introduction

Event Manager Pro is a new application for Zendesk by Premium Plus that builds upon the custom events features launched a while back. This application allows you to add interactions or events to the customer timeline, giving you a high-level view of what's going on without having to dive into the details.

📝 Custom Events Features

The custom events features in Event Manager Pro allow you to add interactions or events to the customer timeline. For example, if a customer emails you about renting a boat, you can log an event with information about the boat rental, including the name of the agent, the type of boat, and a link to the confirmation page.

📅 Adding Interactions to the Customer Timeline

If a customer later emails you for a refund, you can log an event with information about the refund, including the amount, the agent's name, and the reason for the refund. You can also add any kind of interaction that you want to see from the customer. You can then unlock the timeline to see all the events in the timeline.

🔍 Filtering the Customer Timeline

If you only want to see the rentals for a specific customer, you can filter the timeline to show only the rentals. Similarly, if you want to see all the refunds, you can filter the timeline to show only the refunds. You can expand on this with any kind of interaction that your company has frequently with customers.

⚙️ Admin Panel for Customization

Naturally, each company is unique, so Event Manager Pro also has an admin panel in the app that allows you to tweak and add events to make them available for agents to create. For example, you can create a custom event for your boat rental company that includes a type, the booking confirmation, and the agent. You can also add notes on rentals or create a new event type for repairs.

🛠️ Creating New Event Types

If a customer emails you with an issue about their boat sinking, you can create a new event type for repairs. You can add the cost of the repair, a link to the repair page on the website, and the date the boat was fixed. This allows you to keep a history of the repairs and sell higher insurance to the customer the next time they rent.

🎫 Syncing Events with Tickets

As an agent, you can go to your customer or inbox with tickets and see all the events that have occurred. If a customer has an issue with their boat sinking, you can reply to the customer and schedule a repair. You can then create an event for the repair, and it will be locked in the timeline for future reference.

📝 Customer Notes

You can also add notes to a customer's profile, such as "beware, this customer only wants black sails because they are pirates." This log is there for anyone who looks at the customer's profile, making it easy to get a quick overview of the customer's interactions and events.
