What it does on a call

A call ends, is missed or leaves a voicemail. TimberSwitch sends the caller's number and the voicemail transcript to Zendesk, where it becomes a ticket for your team.

What you can do with it

Every voicemail becomes a Zendesk ticket with the transcript, so it's answered in the same queue as email.
A missed call from a known requester adds a note to a new ticket so an agent calls back.
Messages the AI receptionist takes after hours are tickets by morning.
