Operational Impact
Zendesk’s help desk software allowed Twilio’s support team to use triggers for automated workflows, directing tickets to the right people based on their expertise. | |
Customized inboxes and ticket views ensured that agents never lost track of support requests, allowing for timely responses. | |
Macros enabled the support team to quickly respond to frequently asked questions, improving efficiency. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Twilio’s support team consists of 45 employees, with 26 agents working with Zendesk. | |
Only five to six agents are designated to be on support duty all the time, with additional licenses allowing other engineers to jump in when needed. | |
Twilio has been using Zendesk since November 2008. | |
