Feature Overview #
A Support Request allows a team member to reach out for help or clarification directly related to a specific Item, Board, or Space.
Any member can raise a Support Request to another teammate when they need guidance or input.
When raised, the request appears prominently on the receiver’s Kaamfu tab—ensuring it gets immediate attention. The receiver can close the request once it’s addressed or resolved.
You can find the Support Request option in the same area where other communication actions (like Attention Requests) are available.
Key Benefits #
The Support Request feature brings several important advantages:
- Contextual assistance
Requests are tied to a specific item, board, or space, helping the receiver understand exactly where support is needed.
- Targeted communication
Support Requests are sent to individual teammates rather than everyone, helping avoid chaos or irrelevant messages in shared conversations.
- Instant visibility
Requests appear as an on-screen pop-up that’s easy for the recipient to notice and respond to.
- Keeps workflows smooth
Instead of switching to other tools or messages, users can seek help directly within Kaamfu, keeping all communication in one place.
These benefits make Support Requests ideal for promoting teamwork, knowledge sharing, and quicker problem-solving across your workspace.
