Awesome service, great email content

Awesome customer support means that your outgoing emails have some polish on them!

Design your out-going email responses to both staff and clients to have rich and meaningful content.  HelpMaster allows you to embed email "tags" into the subject and body of each email.  When the email is sent, these tags are replaced with contextual information relating to the job, client, asset, site or other information.  This means that you can create emails that not only deliver rich contextual information, but also respond to those emails via automation and email-based commands from remote workers.
