Re:desk Helpdesk Integration Cs-Cart Add-On. Suggest The Features.

Let's discuss any new and current features of Re:Desk customer help desk software for CS-Cart multi-store and Multi-vendor marketplace stores.

Re:Desk site:
https://www.re-desk.com


CS-Cart Help Desk Software:

  • Provides the ability to log in to the Re:Desk help desk with the same login credentials as your customers have in CS-Cart store, so you DO NOT NEED TO IMPORT any users to help desk software. They will be already in your Customer Help Desk after connection to your store.
  • Shows orders and order details, such as status, billing, shipping, and order information right on tickets page.
  • Includes the integration of CS-Cart contact form which contains the departments field you created in Re:Desk ticketing solution. So, the messages posted with this form will be directly sent to a certain department.
  • If customer specified order ID or contacted you through the order details page, this order is shown in ticket subject and in recent orders section in detailed way.
  • Much more described here.

Multi-Vendor Help Desk Solution:

  • Organize communication of vendors with customers through CS-Cart and Re:Desk support system. Owner of Multivendor marketplace sees all tickets of all vendors. Vendor sees only his tickets.
  • Vendor account is automatically created in helpdesk while you create it in CS-Cart Multi-vendor store. All notifications are sent to vendor email address.
  • Shows orders and order details, such as status, billing, shipping, and order information.
  • Includes the integration of Multivendor CS-Cart contact form which contains the Vendors field you created in Re:Desk (departments). So, all the messages posted via this form will directly sent to a certain vendor automatically.
  • Customer contacts you through the order details page or "Contact Vendor" button. All messages converts to help desk tickets and is automatically sent to appropriate vendor with order subject and details.
  • "Ask a Question" button product page.
  • Ability to organize so-called Private Messaging of your vendors vs customers. Only owner of Multivendor marketplace will see full vendors and customers contact details in customer service software.
  • Much more described here.

Any suggestions or comments regarding the forum post above (Re:Desk integration with CS-Cart) are much appreciated.

Stay tuned with us to know the future add-ons and software releases.

you may want to look at your install instructions, they bear no resemlance to what you need to do to install this



you state



Change the original file permissions as advised below.

chmod 666 protected/config/main.local.php

chmod 666 protected/config/cron.local.php

chmod -R 777 protected/runtime

chmod -R 777 assets/



These files dont even exist in these places, for that reason and that reason onky, I wont be installing it.

Oh common, that's a bit harsh don't you think? They probably worked hard on this release and just forgot to update some instructions. Quite typical, this could have happened to me or anybody else for that matter.

Any word on these questions?

[quote name='P-Pharma' timestamp='1364940327' post='159189']

Will Cs-Cart customers be able to see their tickets from within their Cs-Cart account?

Will our staff be able to see orders and customer account within the ticket?

How can we use Re-Desk for Cs-Cart Ultimate? Ultimate has multiple front ends / stores on dedicated domains. Each domain needs a helpdesk. Staff needs to access all helpdesks through one interface.

Thank you for the feedback. We have just revised the installation instructions, so please try to follow them again.

Most probably, you have not run the Re:Desk Installation Wizard as it is described now in the “Installation procedure” section on our site.

If there are still any issues, please report them to our support system directly:

This forum thread is intended to specify the integration features with CS-Cart software. I hope to your understanding the matter.

Yes, we are planning to create this functionality exactly in that way. There will be orders information on Re:Desk and tickets information on CS-Cart account. The addon is planned for release during next two weeks.

I am trying to reproduce the situation. So, you have different stores on different domains, am I correct? Please, describe your example in more details, so we will be able to consider it closely.

Nice. Are you going to implement with all versions? Or going with 4 directly? I know a LOT of people are still using 2.25 and don't plan to upgrade anytime soon.

CS-Cart Ultimate allows multiple front ends operated by multiple corporate identities (companies).

I have one Ultimate installation in which I am building 8 storefronts:[list=1]

[]website 1 by company A

[
]website 2 by company B

[]website 3 by company C

[
]website 4 by company C

[]website 5 by company C

[
]website 6 by company D

[]website 7 by company E

[
]website 8 by company E

[/list]

If a customer of website 1 goes to the helpdesk, then he should see the helpdesk as belonging to website 1 and being operated by company A.

If a customer of website 2 goes to the helpdesk, then he should see the helpdesk as belonging to website 2 and being operated by company B.

If a customer of website 3 goes to the helpdesk, then he should see the helpdesk as belonging to website 3 and being operated by company C

If a customer of website 4 goes to the helpdesk, then he should see the helpdesk as belonging to website 4 and being operated by company C.

etc.



The staff should be able to see all tickets from all websites and companies. (or have permissions to set this) It should be clear to the staff to which website / company the ticket belongs to.

Yes, we scheduled creating add-ons for several versions including CS-Cart 2.2.x, 3.0.x and for CS-Cart 4, as soon as the stable version is released. Surely, certain addon compatibility inside the CS-Cart subversions (e.g. 2.2.1 or 2.2.6) will be defined after the add-ons release. I think there is a matter to create this addon for the latest CS-Cart subversions (2.2.6 and 3.0.6) as they are the final releases of the update branches.

User can post and view the tickets without logging in to the Re:Desk. The message that is received after the ticket posting or replying message is sent with the direct link to the ticket and this link is available by special key, so the link is secure.

Thank you for the clarification. I see the situation.

At the nearest time we are planning to create an availability to create several email addresses according to the departments in Re:Desk. For instance:

Support Department will fetch the emails from support_@ somesite.com

Billing Department - from billing
@ _somesite.com

and so on.



So, you will be able to create the departments in Re:Desk and name them in accordance to your CS-Cart stores and assign appropriate email addresses to them.



In that case, you will have one Re:Desk installed.

Moreover, we are developing a contact from integration, so I believe there will be an availability to integrate the “submit a ticket” a ticket form to each site, if you need it.



If you have any clarification questions, or any related additional information please let me know.

Yes, this feature is already included to the Re:Desk and is used now.

Our apologizes for the Re:Desk 1.1.0 release delay. Just trying to provide bug-free release as much as we can. New great improvements and CS-Cart Re:Desk add-on are already completed, and are now under the testing stage. We decided to take another 1-2 weeks for this purpose to fix all bugs and supply a clean version. Stay tuned with us: http://www.re-desk.c…-subscribe.html

looks great

Hello,



One feature that could really help to separate you from the competition is to integrate with the eBay messaging system via their API. There is a lack of helpdesk solutions out there that integrate natively with the eBay apis.



As we enter the mutli-channel ecommerce space, we are looking for a good helpdesk solution which can consolidate our CS-Cart and eBay messaging needs in one. The solution we are presently using is not bad, but leaves something to be desired. I would prefer to use something like Redesk but can't do so unless all my channels are in one space.



Keep up the great work!

Greetings!

Re:Desk 1.1.0 is released! See the details in our blog:

http://blog.re-desk…1-1-0-released/



CS-Cart Connection add-on is there:

http://www.re-desk.c…desk-addon.html



To test the add-on, please use Re:Desk Trial version.



If you find any bugs, please use our support system there:

[url=“http://support.re-desk.com/”]http://support.re-desk.com/[/url]



Hope that this great version will meet all the expectations.

If any questions arises, please let us know.
