Support Desk Use Cases & Architectures
Explore real-world implementation blueprints for embedded SaaS in-app support, enterprise omnichannel email desks, tiered SLA compliance contracts, and automated workload balancing.
Embedded In-App Customer Support Portal
Provide your web or mobile app users with seamless, zero-friction helpdesk access without forcing them to register separate support credentials.
- Your backend signs a Portal JWT containing the authenticated customer's
customer_idandtenant_id. - Your frontend embeds the portal component or calls
/v1/support/portal/ticketswith headerX-Portal-Token. - Customers view existing tickets, attach error logs, and post replies directly inside your app UI.
High-Volume Inbound Email Desk with Smart Threading
Convert incoming support emails into collaborative team tickets with zero dropped replies, full header threading, and automated customer auto-provisioning.
- 3-Stage Threading: Matches replies by
In-Reply-To,Referencesheader tokens, and subject tags ([#1042]). - Auto-Provisioning: Unknown sender addresses are automatically registered as customer records in their respective tenant.
- Multi-Address Routing: Map

Enterprise SLA Contracts & Automated Breach Escalation
Enforce strict contractual response deadlines (e.g. 15-minute response for Urgent incidents, 1-hour resolution) with background breach engine monitoring.
The engine detects overdue tickets, marks sla_first_response_met = false, logs an activity event, and notifies on-call teams.
Dispatches ticket.sla_breached webhooks to PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or internal alerting channels.
Agent Workload Balancing & Multi-Agent Collaboration
Prevent agent burnout with configurable max_open_tickets caps and enable cross-team collaboration with Primary, Collaborator, and Watcher roles.
