The Challenge

Why Disorganized Case Management Costs You Customers

When customer problems are tracked across emails, sticky notes, and disconnected spreadsheets, things fall through the cracks — costing you relationships, reputation, and revenue.

Issues Fall Through the Cracks

Customer problems tracked in email threads and spreadsheets get lost, duplicated across team members, or simply forgotten — leaving customers waiting and trust eroding with every unanswered request.

No Audit Trail or Accountability

Without a structured system, there is no clear record of what was done, when, and by whom — making it impossible to hold team members accountable or defend your team's performance in a dispute.

Managers Lack Performance Visibility

When case data is scattered, managers cannot measure resolution times, identify bottlenecks, or coach individual agents — leaving service quality improvement to guesswork rather than data.

Hidden Revenue Opportunities Missed

Upsell and retention opportunities buried inside service interactions go unnoticed when support teams lack CRM context — every unlinked case is a missed chance to deepen the customer relationship.

Support Cannot Scale

Without structured workflows, scaling support operations is impossible — each new team member inherits the same chaos, and volume spikes create service failures that damage the brand.

Website Issues Never Enter the CRM

Support requests submitted through website forms are manually re-entered — if they make it in at all. This disconnect creates delays, data gaps, and a poor first impression for customers seeking help.

The Solution

Everything You Need to Manage Cases with Confidence

The Salesboom Cases tab is your command center for all customer support activity — providing a structured, filterable, and fully reportable view of every open and closed case in your organization.

Use the Show drop-down box on the Cases tab to instantly generate summaries of cases by status, type, owner, or other criteria. The Featured Cases section updates dynamically so you always see what matters most right now.

Filter cases by status, owner, type, or custom criteria in seconds
Click any case's View link to see the full detail record instantly
Create and save Custom Views tailored to your team's unique workflow
Sort cases by any field to prioritize high-urgency or at-risk accounts

Adding a new case is straightforward. From the Cases tab, click Add Case to open the New Case form. Required fields are highlighted in red. Every case must be linked to a Contact — ensuring every record connects to a real relationship in your CRM.

Save & New: saves current case and opens a blank form for the next one — perfect for bulk entry
Save: saves the case and brings you to a summary page for review or further action
Link every case to a Contact for full customer context
Required fields enforced to maintain data integrity across all records

The Sending Notification section within every case form lets you loop in the right team members immediately — with a custom message and instant delivery to keep everyone aligned.

Add or remove notified users using simple add/remove buttons
Write a custom notification message tailored to the case context
Click Send to instantly alert selected team members
Notified users access the case directly from their own Cases tab
Especially powerful for escalations and agent reassignments

Web Capture generates an HTML form that lives on your website. When a customer fills it out and submits, a new case is automatically created in Salesboom — pre-populated with their information, zero manual entry required.

Eliminate manual data entry for web-originated support requests
Instant case creation the moment a customer submits a form
Consistent case data structure regardless of channel
Full visibility into web-originated cases alongside all other support requests
Invaluable for tracking customer issues at scale without adding headcount

Core Features

Full Control Over Every Case — From Open to Closed

Salesboom gives your team complete flexibility to manage the full lifecycle of every customer case, with every action available directly from the case detail view.

Edit Case Records

Update any case field at any time as new information comes in. All required fields remain enforced to maintain data consistency. Changes are saved instantly using the Save or Save & New button — keeping the record accurate throughout the entire resolution lifecycle.

Clone Existing Cases

Duplicate an existing case to quickly create a similar new one — ideal for recurring issue types or templated support workflows. Edit the clone as needed and save. This accelerates case creation for common scenarios and ensures consistency across similar records.

Close and Resolve Cases

Mark a case as resolved using the Close Case button. Set Status to “Close” and document the solution in the Solution Information section. Resolved solutions can optionally be submitted to the knowledge base — turning every resolution into a reusable asset for future support.

Print Case Records

Generate a print-ready preview of any case record with the Print action. Use the Print This Page link in the preview window to produce a clean hard copy for documentation, compliance records, or customer file management — no formatting work required.

Add Notes to Cases

When closing a resolved case, agents can optionally submit the solution to the knowledge base. This transforms every successful resolution into a searchable reference for future agents and customers — reducing repeat cases and accelerating resolution times for similar issues.

Integrated CRM Context

Every case is linked to a Contact and connected to the full Salesboom CRM ecosystem — giving agents instant access to the customer's account history, open opportunities, previous cases, and all other relevant data without leaving the case record.
