How to do this in CashyNest

Logged-in users can raise and track support requests inside the workspace popup, while public visitors continue to use the simple marketing support form.

Raise a new in-app request

Menu path: App shell > Support bubble > New Request

Route:Support popup

  • Open the support bubble from any app page.
  • Choose New Request and enter a clear subject and detailed message.
  • Submit once; the loading state prevents duplicate clicks while the request is being created.

Expected result: A support thread is created for the active organization and an email trail is started.

Track existing support threads

Menu path: App shell > Support bubble > Inbox

Route:Support popup

  • Open Inbox to view previous conversations.
  • Filter by status to focus open, in-progress, resolved, or closed threads.
  • Use the unread dot on the support button as a cue to review new replies.

Expected result: Users can follow support progress without leaving their accounting page.

Read a conversation

Menu path: App shell > Support bubble > Inbox > Thread

Route:Support popup

  • Open a thread to view the conversation timeline.
  • Use Back to return to the list and Refresh to load the latest replies.
  • Continue the same thread for follow-up context instead of creating duplicates.

Expected result: Support history stays attached to one traceable workspace conversation.

Outcome to achieve

  • Raise new support requests without leaving the accounting workspace.
  • Track old support conversations, unread replies, and status from the same popup.
  • Keep marketing-site visitor support simple for non-logged-in users.

Step-by-step setup

1

Create a new request

Open the support bubble from inside the app and use the New Request tab for a fresh issue.

  • Write a specific subject that includes the affected workflow or document.
  • Add exact context such as organization, document number, and expected outcome.
  • Submit once and wait for the loading state so duplicate requests are not created.
2

Review existing conversations

Use the Inbox tab to see previous support threads and filter by status.

  • Use Open, In Progress, Resolved, and Closed filters to narrow the list.
  • Look for the unread dot on the support button when a reply is waiting.
  • Open the conversation to read the full thread without leaving the popup.
3

Use the conversation view

Treat each thread like a compact chat timeline with refresh and status visibility.

  • Use Back to return to the inbox list.
  • Use Refresh from the same position to pull the latest replies.
  • Keep follow-up details in the same thread so the ops team has full context.
4

Understand public website support

Visitors on the marketing website continue to see the simple contact form because they are not authenticated.

  • Ask prospects to include email and business context in the public form.
  • Move account-specific questions into the logged-in app support bubble when possible.
  • Rely on email notifications and the in-app inbox for logged-in workspace follow-up.

Best practices

  • Use one support thread per issue so status and resolution stay clean.
  • Include screenshots or document numbers in the first message when possible.
  • Check the support bubble unread indicator during daily finance operations.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Submitting the same issue repeatedly because the button was clicked multiple times.
  • Starting a new thread for every reply instead of continuing the existing conversation.
  • Sending sensitive account-specific details from the unauthenticated public website form.

Reports to watch

  • Support Inbox: monitor open and in-progress operational requests.
  • Ops Support Console: review customer threads, assignments, and replies.
  • Email Notifications: confirm the customer receives external follow-up when agents respond.
