1. Creating Your Support Application with Okay
Okay is the foundation for creating your support application. Start by clicking on the “create app” button to initiate the setup. You will be prompted to name your application, which is crucial for identification.
In this case, let’s name it “Supportly”. This name will be visible to users every time they interact with the app. Once you have entered the name, click on “create” to begin the building process.
2. Defining Your App Requirements
Now that you have created your app, it’s time to define its requirements. Use the chat panel to describe the functionalities you want in your support application.
- Describe the app’s purpose and target audience.
- Specify the dual sides of the app: customer and admin.
- Outline features such as ticket creation, status updates, and admin dashboard requirements.
Make sure to keep the language simple and conversational. This is where you will outline all your ideas clearly.
3. Integrating Gmail for Ticket Management
Integrating Gmail is essential for automating ticket creation. Notify Okay that you want to incorporate Gmail into your support app. This allows your team to manage tickets directly from incoming emails.
Once you have indicated the need for Gmail integration, proceed by clicking on the relevant options. This will enable automatic ticket creation whenever an email is received.
4. Previewing Your Support Application
After defining the requirements and integrating Gmail, you will be able to preview your application. This is an important step to ensure everything is in order before deployment.
You will see a summary of the app’s features and how it will look to users. Make sure to check both the customer and admin interfaces to confirm they meet your expectations.
5. Testing Your Application’s Functionality
Testing is a critical step in ensuring your application works as intended. Begin by creating a test ticket through the customer interface.
- Enter a customer name and email.
- Fill in the subject and problem description.
- Select a category and priority for the ticket.
After submitting the ticket, check the admin dashboard to ensure that the ticket appears correctly. This will confirm that your integration is functioning properly.
