CRM DETAILS


Hi Kris,


Here is my proposal for a simple, cost-effective and fit for purpose CRM replacement. Cheers, Fresh, hello LEGO!

Functionality required

  • Knowledge base. Provide users with easy access to technical information about GEMS services.
  • Form submissions trigger the following:
    • Admin email
    • Submitter email
    • Add row to Google sheet
  • Platform support
  • User / admin emails can trigger updates to sheet
    • Admin can send email with case number to specific email address to update status
  • Undergrads and grad RAs should be able to respond to tickets
    • Form submissions from users go into spreadsheet
    • Form submissions are emailed to a Google Group (requires OIT support to set up)
    • Any user can then reply on that email and CC the group
    • Users can add a filter on their account so that group emails go into a separate folder, not their inbox

Proof of concept

I’d like to build a quick proof of concept to show how this might work. I need the following: 
  • Desired group name and email address for Sensing shared inbox group
  • Confirm if we should create a group for general GEMS enquiries as well, or continue forwarding all enquiries to you, Kris.
  • Confirm that the functionality described above will fulfil all your immediate needs.
