Quite some time ago, one of FoodBevBiz's first customers asked me a simple question that sparked a big idea: "Bryce, could you integrate FoodBevBiz with Zendesk?" It wasn't something I'd really considered up until that moment but when they asked, it made complete sense.
Support is such a crucial part of the ecommerce experience, so why not make it easier? In turn, the FoodBevBiz Zendesk integration was born. Soon after I did the same for Help Scout and Intercom.
But there was a big support system missing and I sadly just didn't have the time to build the integration with it until now. So today, I want to introduce to you FoodBevBiz's latest integration with one of my favourite pieces of software out there - Groove.
Like FoodBevBiz's other support system integrations, it's a two-way integration, providing you with Groove data & tools within FoodBevBiz and also FoodBevBiz data within Groove.
Let's explore the integration and what it features.
In FoodBevBiz
So what happens on the FoodBevBiz side?
After connecting your Groove amount to FoodBevBiz, you'll find a new area hidden at the bottom of every order, customer, and subscription page in FoodBevBiz.
Firstly, if there are any tickets with the given customer, you'll see them listed at the bottom automatically:
Secondly, you'll be able to open a ticket with that customer directly from FoodBevBiz:
In Groove
You've probably been answering a ticket at some point and then realised that you don't know anything about the requester. Are they a customer? Have they ordered anything? Are they one of our VIPs with a high spend?
When you set up the second part of FoodBevBiz's Groove integration, you'll find all of the customer's information automatically available on the right side of every ticket.
Best of all, it's all automatic and takes just a few moments to set up. We're opening to show more data there, like the customer's order history and purchased products, as soon as it's possible within Groove.
Get Started
Getting started takes moments. Firstly, make sure your store is connected to FoodBevBiz already (if not, you can add it here). Then just head to the store's integrations area, click the Connect buttons next to both Groove integrations (there are 2) and follow the instructions.
You can also find a help doc here that covers setting up the integration in more detail.
