Notes Stack for Customer Support & Success

Every ticket tells a story, and the best support teams know the full context. Notes Stack lives in your browser side panel so you can keep personal notes alongside your help desk, track customer sentiment, and never lose context between handoffs.

Why Support Teams Choose Notes Stack

Help desks track tickets, but they don't always capture the nuance — the customer's tone, the workaround you tried, or the internal context from engineering. Notes Stack fills that gap.

  • Ticket context notes — While viewing a Zendesk or Intercom ticket, open the side panel and add your own observations: what you've tried, what the customer really wants, and what the next agent needs to know.
  • Customer health scorecards — For success managers, create a note per account with a health score, renewal date, and recent interactions. Attach it to their CRM profile page.
  • Escalation checklists — Build task lists for escalation procedures: reproduce the issue, gather logs, tag engineering, notify the account manager. Check items off as you go.
  • Stacks for issue categories — Create stacks like "Billing Issues", "Technical Bugs", "Feature Requests", and "Churn Risks" to organize your notes by type.

Tips and Tricks

Stacks for Ticket Priority

Create stacks for "P1 — Critical", "P2 — High", "P3 — Normal", and "Pending Engineering". Move notes between stacks as priorities shift. This gives you a personal priority view on top of your help desk's queue.

Handoff Notes Between Shifts

Before ending your shift, write a summary note on each active ticket: current status, what you've tried, and what the next agent should do. This dramatically reduces resolution time.

Set Reminders for SLA Deadlines

When you pick up a ticket with a tight SLA, set a reminder for 30 minutes before the deadline. Notes Stack will send a browser notification so you can escalate or respond in time.

PIN-Lock Internal Context

Keep internal notes about account value, churn risk assessments, or engineering workarounds locked behind a PIN. This prevents accidental exposure if you share your screen during a customer call.

Export for Weekly Reports

Export your "Resolved This Week" stack to CSV at the end of each week. Use the data to identify recurring issues, calculate your personal resolution stats, and share trends with the team.

Platforms That Work Great With Notes Stack

  • Zendesk — Add personal context notes alongside tickets that go beyond standard internal comments.
  • Intercom — Keep supplementary notes on customer conversations and help center articles.
  • Freshdesk — Annotate ticket threads with troubleshooting notes and resolution steps.
  • Salesforce Service Cloud — Track customer health scores and case context right next to CRM data.
  • Jira Service Management — Add notes on bug tickets and link them to your engineering follow-up stack.
  • HubSpot Service Hub — Keep customer success notes attached to contact and company pages.

A Real-World Workflow

  1. Pick up a ticket — Open a Zendesk ticket about a billing error. In the side panel, note the customer's account type, subscription tier, and the error they're seeing.
  2. Investigate — Check the billing dashboard. Add notes about what you find: the charge date, the amount discrepancy, and the likely cause.
  3. Create a checklist — Add a task list: verify the charge, issue a refund, send confirmation email, update the account, follow up in 48 hours.
  4. Set a reminder — Schedule a follow-up reminder for two days out to confirm the customer received the refund.
  5. Tag by category — Assign the note to your "Billing Issues" stack for trend tracking.
  6. Shift handoff — If the issue isn't resolved by end of shift, your detailed side panel notes give the next agent full context instantly.

Stop losing customer context between tools and shifts. Notes Stack keeps your support knowledge where you need it — right next to the ticket.
