Last updated: January 26, 2023
eDesk Product Update Feb 2020

Over the last few months, the eDesk Product team has been working hard on making our eCommerce helpdesk and feedback platform even better.

Check out what’s new including an updated Mailbox and Etsy integration, plus what’s next including Smart Groups and an updated mobile app in our first product update of 2021.

What’s New

Improved Mailbox

We’ve listened to your feedback and worked closely with a range of eDesk users in our Research Community to create a Mailbox that has a clean modern look, is easier to navigate and helps agents find the information they need quicker.

New eDesk Mailbox

We’ve kept the main navigation items that you regularly use so it should only take a few minutes to get used to the new Mailbox. If it’s not for you, you can switch back to the previous version with one click.

Existing eDesk users can switch to the new Mailbox using the Settings menu on the top right of the software and clicking ‘Try the new-look eDesk‘. Learn more.

Etsy Integration

Our most requested feature in 2020 is now available to use. Etsy sellers can now manage all customer support queries within eDesk’s eCommerce helpdesk software.

eDesk Etsy order screen

Using the latest eDesk integration, users can view their Etsy messages, orders and order information within eDesk’s centralised inbox. The integration is easy to set up, simple to use and helps support teams respond faster. Learn more.

Amazon VAT Calculation Service

Did you know that you can generate branded invoices for Amazon orders within eDesk? Amazon recommends that third-party sellers maintain an Invoice Defect Rate (IDR) below 5%.

Using the eDesk Amazon VAT Calculation Service integration, you can automatically generate invoices for customers within 24 hours of the order being placed and ensure that your IDR remains below 5%. Invoices can be generated for VAT orders within the EU, using the tax and order information received directly from Amazon. Learn more.

ChannelEngine Integration

ChannelEngine is a marketplace integration solution that supports 150+ marketplaces and third-party sales channels.

When managing multiple marketplaces, it allows you to synchronise stock and price changes while automatically importing and updating product information. Connecting your ChannelEngine account will allow your messages, orders and order information to flow directly into eDesk. Learn more.

Amazon Poland

eDesk is now integrated with Amazon Poland, bringing our total number of Amazon integrations to 18. Here is the full list of eDesk Amazon integrations: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, UAE, UK and US. How many do you sell on?

What’s Next

Here’s a look at some of the things we are currently working on that will be released in the upcoming months. 

Smart Inbox – Coming March

With our upcoming Smart Inbox feature, we’ve taken away the pain of configuring your ticket types by intelligently categorising them into groups which allows support teams to quickly focus on high priority tickets.

Smart Groups

Request a Review

Our upcoming Request a Review feature lets you create a rule that triggers the Amazon ‘Request a review’ functionality within eDesk’s Feedback module. This feedback solicitation message is created by Amazon itself so you can be guaranteed that you are following Amazon’s review guidelines.

In Seller Central, the feature is used on a per order basis, but within eDesk, you’ll be able to request reviews based on specific conditions including selected products or whether you have an open ticket with the customer.

Updated Mobile App

We’re close to releasing our new and improved mobile app for iOS and Android. Using the eDesk Insights mobile app, merchants can track their Amazon and eBay sales and orders in real-time including daily and monthly dashboards and get insights into sales performance.
