Looking for an Outlook alternative?
Microsoft Outlook is a great email client used by many enterprise businesses. It has many useful features for individual email management, however, when it comes to using Outlook for business - specifically for customer support, there are a few limitations.
For example, Outlook does not support a universal inbox with multichannel integrations, which is an essential feature in customer service. In addition, Outlook's features don't promote productive collaboration amongst agents. If you want to boost your customer service and are looking for an Outlook alternative, consider LiveAgent.

The hybrid ticket stream makes all tickets look the same regardless of the communication channel they were received from. The ticket stream allows you to follow your customers journey through different channels but always stay in the same hybrid ticket. In this way, you have all the important information about your customers and their issues right at your fingertips.
Automate Tasks
to Save Time
Automation is an essential feature for customer support because it saves a lot of time. It allows you to automate ordinary tasks, create workflows or unique automation rules according to your business needs.
For example, automation rules can automatically assign tickets (at any stage) to individual agents or departments. All you have to do is choose a "trigger" and the rule will be executed. In LiveAgent, automation rules can be based on any ticket parameter, event or time condition.
