Tips & best practices

Field-tested advice from teams shipping SyntrixOne in production.

  • Use saved views ("VIP", "Refunds", "Out of hours") so the team always opens on the right list.
  • Internal notes (toggle to Internal in the composer) are great for handoff context and never visible to the customer.
  • ⌘K opens the global command palette from anywhere in the inbox — jump to any conversation by ID, customer, or tag.
