Low-code customer success – For the customer’s technical team
Although SmartKarrot aims to become a low code customer success company, there are still areas where a very minimal amount of coding is required to get things done. But the good news is this low-code customer success needs to be performed by the technical team of the customers who acquire the services of SmartKarrot.
Here are some of the areas where low-code customer success is required on SmartKarrot:
No system to read the data that needs to be passed for integration
Integration is one of the easiest things that can be done on SmartKarrot. But there are times when the customer does not have the CRM where the data resides. This is where we provide that script to the customer’s technical team. Then we give access to the library to push that data.
Access product success console on SmartKarrot
When the customer success professionals need to access the product success console on SmartKarrot, they need My Event’s data. This needs to be pushed through a piece of code in the library that must be installed on the customer’s application. The customer success team cannot carry out this activity. This requires intervention by the customer’s technical team – the people who maintain the application. Hence, there is a bit of dependency on the customer’s technical team when accessing the product success console on SmartKarrot.
Final Words
As you can see, SmartKarrot has graduated to another level in a very short span of time. Low code / No code customer success has never been ventured by any other customer success company before.
