# Cases & Support

A **case** is a customer question or problem you are tracking to resolution, what other tools call a support ticket. Cases turn "someone needs help" from a message that might get forgotten into a job with an owner, a status, and a clear finish line.

## Where cases come from

A case can start from a customer message, a form, your team, or automation:

## Working a case

Each case keeps everything about the issue together:

* The customer it belongs to, with their full history
* A description of the problem or question
* Its **status**, so you always know what is open, in progress, or resolved
* An **owner**, the team member responsible for it
* Every message exchanged about it

The team works the case until it is resolved, and nothing slips, because the case holds the whole thread in one place.

## Replying on any channel

A customer might have asked by email but prefer a text reply, or the other way round. From inside a case you can reply on whichever channel suits, and the whole back-and-forth stays attached to the case. The customer gets a smooth experience; your team keeps one tidy record.

## A clear support queue

Because every case has an owner and a status, your support work becomes an organised queue rather than a scramble. Everyone can see what is open, what is assigned to them, and what still needs attention.

## Automating support

Automation makes support faster and more consistent:

* Send an instant "we have received your request" reply.
* Assign new cases to the right team member automatically.
* Notify a manager when a case has been open too long.
* Follow up with the customer after a case is resolved.

See [Workflow Automation](https://flexie.io/resources/workflows/overview).

## Templates for faster replies

Save your common answers as templates so your team can respond to frequent questions in seconds, with consistent wording.

## Measuring your support

Build dashboards and reports to understand how support is going: cases opened and resolved, how long they stay open, and which team members are handling what. See [Dashboards & Reports](https://flexie.io/resources/reports/overview).

## Just ask Flexie AI

* "Show me all open cases that have not been updated in three days."
* "How many cases did we resolve last month?"
* "Build an automation that alerts a manager when a case stays open over 48 hours."
