Snappy makes this simple by using special tags instead of tedious forms.
Assignment
To assign a ticket to someone else you simply go to the tags bar and enter the @ symbol which will show a list of staff that it can be assigned to.
Categorize
Categories use the # prefix to designate that it's in a category. For example if you want to mark the ticket at sales you would add the "#sales" tag.
Prioritize
Priorities work the same as the others. You would use a prefix of !1 for the highest priority all the way down to !5. Keep in mind Snappy only looks for those first two characters so you can add additional text to better clarify. For example: "!1-important".
The Snappy Widget allows you to add a help widget into your site or your web based application.
You can get your custom base embed code inside your Snappy account under your Company menu->Widget.
Copy the embed code and paste it just above your closing </body>

<script

data-position="bottom right"
data-lang="en"
data-contact="1"
data-name="John Doe"
data-email="test@example.com"
data-title="Help"
data-background=""
data-debug="1"
data-faq="3"
</script>
data-position

.

data-debug
This is a special option that will prefix all questions with their id. The use case for this is to allow you to find the id for advanced integrations described.
data-faq
By inserting the id of the faq you can have the widget open directly to this section. Use the data-debug attribute above to find out the id of the one you want to use.
You can forward emails from your existing email accounts into Snappy. For this to work your mail server will need to support the proper email forwarding headers, most modern mail servers do including Gmail and Exchange.
Using your existing email accounts provides a seamless transition for customers. In addition, since you're only forwarding the email to Snappy your mail server will maintain a copy of the original emails as well.
Exchange supports several methods of forwarding. The most simple is to use mail rules which can be setup from Outlook/Web mail.
The final step is to edit your Mailbox in Snappy (Account->Mailboxes) and set the "from address" to the email address you'd like to appear to customers as the FROM.
You can connect your email to Snappy in a few ways:
If you want to use your existing email address, you can set up email forwarding with you email client. See our FAQ on email forwarding for more details.
If you want to add our widget to your website, you can read more about how to do that in our Snappy Widget Setup and Advanced Integration FAQs.
