The Idea behind it

With the Messenger, employees can get in contact with code users and perform customer service. The aim is to enable them to solve problems remotely. For this reason, the Messenger offers a variety of tools that support clear and precise communication.

Good to Know

• Once a ticket is closed, code users can't use the Messenger anymore.
• Messages can't be deleted or edited.
