Introduction
Customer support plays a major role in building trust and long-term loyalty for any Magento 2 store. Delayed replies, missed emails, or untracked conversations often lead to frustrated customers and lost sales. In this case study, we highlight how a store admin successfully improved customer support operations using the Magento 2 Helpdesk / Support Desk Extension by Purpletree Software.
The extension helped the admin centralize all customer queries, improve response times, and deliver a more professional support experience.
The Initial Problem
Before implementing the Helpdesk extension, the admin faced multiple challenges:
-
Customer queries arriving via emails, contact forms, and order notes
-
No proper system to track open or resolved issues
-
Difficulty assigning queries to the right team
-
Delays in responding to customers
As the store grew, managing customer communication became time-consuming and inefficient.
The Helpdesk Solution
The Magento 2 Helpdesk Extension introduced a structured ticket-based support system where every query is recorded, tracked, and managed from the Magento admin panel.
Customers and guests can submit tickets for:
-
Order-related questions
-
Technical issues
-
General inquiries
All communication remains organized and accessible in one place.
Admin Workflow with Helpdesk Extension
1. Initial Configuration
The admin configured the extension from:
Admin Panel > Helpdesk > Settings > Configuration
Key setup steps included:
-
Enabling the Helpdesk module
-
Setting default ticket status and priority
-
Enabling email notifications for updates
A valid Purpletree Software license key was used to activate the extension.
Outcome:
The helpdesk system was ready to use within minutes.
2. Creating Departments
To improve ticket routing, the admin created multiple departments such as:
-
Sales
-
Customer Support
-
Technical Team
-
Services
Customers can select the relevant department while submitting a ticket.
Outcome:
Tickets reached the correct team immediately, reducing internal delays.
3. Ticket Status Management
The admin configured ticket statuses like:
-
Open
-
Pending
-
In Progress
-
Resolved
-
Closed
Statuses were updated as the issue progressed.
Outcome:
Clear visibility of ticket progress and better workload planning.
4. Handling Support Tickets
All tickets were managed from:
Admin Panel > Helpdesk > Tickets > All Tickets
From a single interface, the admin could:
-
Read customer messages
-
Reply directly to tickets
-
Attach files and documents
-
View complete conversation history
Supported file formats included documents, spreadsheets, images, and text files.
Outcome:
No communication gaps and faster issue resolution.
5. Updating Ticket Details
Admins updated ticket priority, department, or status as required. Email notifications automatically informed customers about changes.
Outcome:
Customers stayed informed, increasing transparency and trust.
