Migrating from Halp to Foqal: A Seamless Transition for Your Customer Support

If you haven't seen the April 4th post, Atlassian is officially moving Halp into Jira Service Management platform. This means Atlassian will discontinue the standalone Halp product and require you to use Jira Service Manager if want to continue supporting your customers through Slack and Halp. First, we’d like to express our gratitude to the Halp team for sparking people’s interest in supporting customers through Slack. Their investment in education about Slack support, product initiatives, and features has helped build this industry and expand Slack support. However, as Halp transitions to Jira Service Manager (JSM), many users may be reluctant to switch and are looking for alternatives.

Why Choose Foqal Over Jira Service Manager?

1. Optimized for Customer Support Teams:
   
   Foqal is specifically designed for customer support teams. Many of the features such as the Salesforce integration, outbound announcements, @mentioning, and article attachments are not only designed for support but specifically around Customer support through Slack. Jira and JSM are primarily built for IT and engineering teams - catering to the needs of internal teams managing technical projects and tasks. As a result, JSM's tools and features are not optimal for customer support teams.
   ‍
2. User-Friendly Interface and Management:
   
   While Jira Service Manager has a wide range of features and capabilities, its interface can be quite complex, especially for customer support teams who are used to the simplicity and convenience of Slack. Foqal, offers a user-friendly interface that allows your team to easily access and manage tickets, change settings, and build automation without the need for extensive training or onboarding. Would you rather be spending hours Googling how to configure JSM or spending that time helping and retaining your customers?

   Is your team working from Zendesk, Intercom, Salesforce, or a different ticket system? That is fine with us, you can stay with your ticketing system of choice and allow us to integrate them together bi-directionally.
