How to activate Customer Support Portal

The Customer Support Portal is a powerful tool that enables your customers to interact with your support system seamlessly. This guide will walk you through the setup process, helping you optimize the portal and empowering your customers to easily create and manage support tickets.

Activating the Customer Support Portal with SupportGenix is a seamless process, thanks to our user-friendly App Block. For smooth integration, we recommend creating a dedicated template for the page where the portal will be placed. This approach ensures that other pages using the same template remain unaffected by the portal’s setup.
