Capabilities

What this module handles

Saudi brands run customer support from one WhatsApp Business phone and a shared inbox, so nobody can say how many issues are open, who owns them, or whether a refund promised to a customer ever reached accounting, while the Ministry of Commerce and Maroof give customers an easy escalation path. Odoo Helpdesk collects issues from every channel into tickets with an owner, stage and deadline, measures SLAs, and lets a ticket raise a refund, return, repair or field visit, with the order history from your Salla store synced to Odoo on the same screen.

  • Tickets created from email aliases, website forms, live chat and WhatsApp conversations automatically.
  • Teams with manual, round-robin or load-balanced assignment, and routing by language or product line.
  • SLA policies by team, priority and ticket type, with alerts before a deadline is missed.
  • Customer ratings requested on closure, reported per agent, team and channel over time.
  • Refund credit notes, returns, repair orders and field service tasks raised from the ticket.
  • Knowledge base articles and canned responses in Arabic and English for faster replies.
  • Customer portal where clients follow their tickets and reply without calling.
  • Ticket merging, tags and reports by team, agent, channel and SLA status.
  • Outsourced contact-center agents working in the same tickets and customer records through the Extensya Odoo integration.
Saudi ready

Built for how business runs in Saudi Arabia

Agents work in Arabic and English, and tickets can be routed by the customer's language so an Arabic WhatsApp message reaches an Arabic-speaking agent. WhatsApp conversations become tickets on the customer record through the Odoo connector, and refunds raised from a ticket post as ZATCA compliant credit notes in Accounting. Customer conversations stay under access and retention rules that help with PDPL, and Naqlah, an Odoo Gold Partner in Saudi Arabia, configures the channels and SLAs around your support hours, including Ramadan nights and Fridays.

WhatsApp is the queue
WhatsApp chats become tickets with the full conversation history on the customer record. Agents reply from Odoo, and the customer still receives it on WhatsApp.

Consumer law timelines
Return and refund flows are tracked against the 7-day withdrawal right and the delivery promise set by the E-Commerce Law, so a request does not sit unanswered until the customer calls 1900 or files on Maroof.

Refunds in the ledger
A refund approved on the ticket becomes a credit note in Accounting, linked to the original invoice. Finance sees every refund and its reason without a separate Excel sheet.

How it connects

What happens to a complaint about a late delivery in Odoo Helpdesk?

1. The message becomes a ticket
The customer writes on WhatsApp, email or the website form, and a ticket is created on their customer record with the SLA clock started and the right team assigned.

2. The agent sees the order and shipment
The order from Salla, Zid or the Odoo website and its delivery status with Aramex, SMSA or Naqel are visible from the ticket, so the agent answers without asking the customer for an order number.

3. The fix is raised from the ticket
The agent creates a redelivery, a return in Odoo Inventory, a repair order, or a refund credit note, directly from the ticket, and the customer is updated on the same channel.

4. The ticket closes and is rated
The ticket closes, the customer rates the experience, and the SLA and channel reports update so management sees where support is slow, as covered on our integrations page.

Implementation

What Naqlah configures in your implementation

  1. Define teams, stages and aliases. Support teams by product, language or client type are set up with their stages and email aliases.
  2. Configure channels. WhatsApp through the Meta connector, live chat on your website, web forms and email are connected so every message becomes a ticket.
  3. Set SLA policies and escalation. Response and resolution targets per priority and team are defined, with alerts and escalation when a deadline approaches.
  4. Connect the actions. Return, refund, repair and field service actions are linked so agents resolve issues from the ticket without switching apps.
  5. Build the bilingual knowledge base. Help articles and canned responses are written in Arabic and English for the most common questions.
  6. Configure ratings, dashboards and train agents. Customer ratings, SLA dashboards and agent reports are set up, and agents are trained on the queue.

Timelines depend on the channels and actions in scope, and Naqlah gives you a clear roadmap in the first consultation.

Who it is for

Companies that get the most from this module

  • eCommerce brands on Salla and Zid. Order questions, courier issues and returns handled from the ticket with the order visible.
  • Software and IT companies. Support contracts with SLAs per client, billable support through Timesheets and a portal for ticket follow-up.
  • Distributors with warranty claims. Appliance and electronics claims turned into repair orders or replacements from the ticket.
  • Real estate developers after handover. Unit owners raise snagging and maintenance issues that become field service visits.
  • Chains for internal requests. Outlet staff raise requests to head office with SLAs per team, from IT to maintenance.
