We are thrilled to have been invited to present at the upcoming Google I/O conference.

CRM and Help Desk solutions such as Salesforce and Zendesk are simple to use, yet they are also powerful by letting you customize your data set to best match your business model.

Today we are proud to announce that SnapABug now leverages this flexibility by enabling you to customize how information collected by SnapABug is loaded into Salesforce CRM or Zendesk Help Desk fields.

To access this new powerful option, simply go to your Widget Configurator, select the “Set Destination” tab and in the “Advanced” section you will find the custom data mapper.

Use it to select any data collected by SnapABug, including JavaScript variables and custom text and map it to a standard or custom field in the destination system.

Give it a try and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question.

Since we’ve introduced SnapABug Salesforce CRM integration last month, we’ve been working hard to get Salesforce certified.

You asked us for a way to easily see who is online and who is offline and we just added this capability to the configurator.
Simply go to the “Chat” tab and a green dot will be next to online users, while offline users get a grey dot. Easy!

Please keep the comments and feature requests coming, they really drive how we build SnapABug for you.

SnapABug now lets you have multiple widget configuration attached to a same profile.

This is extremely handy when you want requests from your development environment sent to your bug tracker while support requests from production should go to your help desk.

The multi widget option is also used by our customers with a white label solution who need support requests sent to a specific organization based on the website they originated from.

The multi widget option is available for SnapABug Business and Enterprise.

We recently added new optional settings in your SnapABug configurator for you to specify if you to enforce encrypted data transfer and to require a valid login for the case viewer. The case viewer displays all information on your user environment, the user location, the page screenshot, etc. for a given problem report. By default, you can share the unique case URL with anybody, but if you are dealing with sensitive information, it is a good idea to restrict the case access.

To enable this extra security functionality, sign-in in your account, and go in the Configuration tab of the configurator. Once you expand the Advanced settings, you will notice the new Extra security section:
