What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
It does not build your website.
It publishes the desk on the website you already run.
It is not a live chat.
A visitor leaves a ticket; conversation continues on the ticket and by email.
It does not replace the helpdesk app.
Teams, stages and SLA live there - this exposes them.
Public forms attract noise.
Ticket types and the default team keep it sortable; spam control is the website's.
