Support Requests: Suggestion for Improved Customer Satisfaction

Continuing the discussion from Rule Machine Version 1.9 Released:

Okay, fair enough. But a suggestion… add a statement in the mobile app Support dialog that says something like, “By submitting this trouble ticket I am granting permission for authorized SmartThings personnel to access my account for the purpose of resolving or further identifying my issue.” I’m sure your lawyers can spin appropriate verbiage.

This single change would cost ST nothing and aid immeasurably in customer satisfaction.

I’ve been doing this for a long time as well. It definitely cuts down on the time it takes for someone to look at your issue.

We like explicit choosing, so, what if we added a check box with similar verbiage?

Not promising anything but I think this is a good middle ground.

I completely agree with this. I sometimes need to troubleshoot user issues with workstations and will always ask user for permission first. Even though I have full access to company computers.

With that said… I have also started adding a “I give full permission to access my hub” statement when sending in support tickets.
