Your Customer Service staff most likely reply to the same or similar questions very frequently, that's why we've implemented the Canned Answers, however it solved only part of the problem. Sometimes a support reply includes a file and uploading the same file multiple times can be tiring and time consuming. Therefore we've implemented a different attachment method. With our File link attachments in reply message feature your customer service staff will only have to upload the file once and add the link to the email. They can also add a link to an entire folder, which the user will download as a zip file.

Contact Enhanced has maps integration with Google Maps API (requires billing information) and with Leaflet to show a map based on the contact address. If you have a Contact Enhanced PRO subscription you can also use the Ideal Store Locator plugin, which has integration with Google Maps API only. 

What's Leaflet?

Leaflet is the leading open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps. Leaflet is provider-agnostic, meaning that it doesn’t enforce a particular choice of providers for tiles. Leaflet doesn’t even contain a single provider-specific line of code, so you’re free to use other providers if you need to. 

Tile Providers

Some Tile providers are free to use. This doesn't mean no limits apply, you should always check each of the provider's Terms and Conditions before using these layers for anything serious. There are some paid providers with a free quota. For example Mapbox.com provides 50,000 map views for free. Most free providers, if not all, get the map data from https://openstreetmap.org. OpenStreetMap is a free, editable map of the whole world that is being built by volunteers largely from scratch and released with an open-content license.

How to use

  1. Go to Components → Contact Enhanced  → Options and under the Map tab set Map Script to Leaflet.
  2. Choose a Map Tiles provider and configure it accordingly;
