Extensions

Extensions are based on HTML, JavaScript and CSS, making them lightweight yet effective solutions for extending your helpdesk capabilities. Each extension should serve one narrowly defined purpose, ensuring focused functionality and ease of management.

How Extensions Work

Extensions allow for additional actions that the program itself cannot provide. To use an extension, you must install and manage it properly. Sometimes you need certain permissions or data when adding them to a program. This ensures security and proper integration with your existing helpdesk system.

The beauty of extensions lies in their ability to adapt to your specific business needs without requiring extensive customization or development work. Whether you need to add new features, integrate with third-party tools, or enhance existing functionality, extensions provide a flexible solution.

By adding them to the standard support software model, you can get more options and functionality for your customer support team and customers.
