Introduction

Every day, your support team hears directly from the people who use your product most: your customers. But are you making the most of these conversations?

Too often, valuable feedback gets lost in the shuffle of ticket resolutions and busy inboxes.

In a competitive Canadian market, missing out on this feedback means missing out on opportunities to improve your product—and your customer relationships.

The good news? With the right process, you can turn every support conversation into a source of actionable product feedback. Even better, you can close the loop with customers, showing them their voice truly matters.

In this article, you’ll learn how to use Supportify to tag, collect, and act on feedback—plus, you’ll get practical templates and real-world examples from Canadian companies. Let’s turn your support desk into your product team’s secret weapon.

Why Support Conversations Are Your Best Source of Product Feedback

Support conversations are where your customers are most honest. Unlike surveys or focus groups, support tickets capture real frustrations, feature requests, and usability issues as they happen.

In fact, a 2024 Zendesk report found that over 70% of actionable product feedback originates from support interactions.

Real Canadian Example

Take the case of a Toronto-based SaaS company. By systematically tagging support tickets, they discovered that 40% of their incoming requests were about a missing integration with a popular Canadian payroll provider.

This insight led to a new product feature that increased customer retention by 18% in just six months.

Why It Matters

• Immediate insights: Customers share pain points in real time.
• Unfiltered feedback: Support conversations are candid and specific.
• Volume: You get a steady stream of feedback, not just periodic survey results.

If you’re not capturing this feedback, you’re missing out on the most direct line to what your customers want and need.

Setting Up a Feedback Collection System in Supportify

Turning support conversations into product feedback starts with a system. Supportify makes this easy with built-in tagging, feedback fields, and export features. Here’s how to set up a process that works for your team.

1. Tagging Templates

Consistent tagging is the foundation of any feedback system. With Supportify, you can create custom tags for different types of feedback. Here’s a simple template to get started:

Pro Tip: Train your support team to tag every ticket as they go. This ensures no feedback slips through the cracks.

2. Feedback Collection Template

Once a ticket is tagged, use a feedback collection template to capture the details your product team needs. Here’s a ready-to-use template for Supportify:

Agent Response Template:
“Thank you for sharing your feedback! I’ve tagged your request for our product team to review. If we make any changes based on your suggestion, I’ll be sure to let you know.”

Supportify Feedback Fields:

• Customer’s request (in their own words)
• Impact on workflow (how it affects their day-to-day)
• Urgency (is this blocking their work?)
• Customer segment (e.g., small business, enterprise, nonprofit)

Example:
A customer from Vancouver writes, “It would save me hours if I could export reports directly to Excel.” The agent tags this as a Feature Request, fills in the feedback fields, and uses the template above to acknowledge the customer.

Sharing Feedback with Your Product Team

Collecting feedback is only half the battle. To drive real product improvements, you need to share this information with your product team in a way that’s clear, actionable, and prioritized.

1. Weekly or Monthly Feedback Reports

Supportify’s export feature lets you quickly generate feedback summaries. Here’s a sample table you can use in your reports:

Pro Tip: Highlight high-impact or repeated feedback. For example, if 15 customers in the past month requested a new integration, flag this as a priority.

2. Real Canadian Scenario

A Montreal-based HR software company used Supportify to track feedback on their onboarding process.

After noticing a spike in usability issues, they worked with their product team to redesign the onboarding flow.

The result? A 25% reduction in support tickets related to onboarding and a 12-point increase in their Net Promoter Score (NPS).

3. Closing the Feedback Loop Internally

Don’t just send reports—schedule regular meetings between support and product teams. Use these sessions to discuss top feedback, clarify customer pain points, and agree on next steps. This ensures feedback isn’t just collected, but acted upon.

Closing the Loop with Customers

Collecting and sharing feedback is important, but the real magic happens when you close the loop with your customers. This means letting them know when their feedback has led to a change or improvement.

1. Why Closing the Loop Matters

According to a 2025 Salesforce study, 60% of Canadian customers say they’re more loyal to brands that act on their feedback. Closing the loop shows customers you value their input and are committed to continuous improvement.

2. Supportify Follow-Up Templates

Use these templates to follow up with customers when their feedback leads to a product update:

Feature Released Template:
“Hi [Name], thanks again for your feedback about [feature/issue]. We’re excited to let you know that we’ve just released an update that addresses your suggestion: [brief summary of the change]. We’d love to hear what you think!”

Bug Fixed Template:
“Hi [Name], you reported an issue with [bug description]. Our team has fixed this, and the update is now live. Thank you for helping us improve!”

Still Considering Template:
“Hi [Name], I wanted to update you on your suggestion about [feature/issue]. Our product team is still reviewing this, and I’ll keep you posted on any changes.”

3. Setting Reminders in Supportify

Supportify allows you to set reminders to follow up with customers when a feature is released or a bug is fixed. This ensures no one is forgotten and every customer feels heard.

4. Real Canadian Example

A Vancouver fintech company used Supportify to close the loop on a major feature request: instant paycheque advances. After launching the feature, they followed up with every customer who had requested it. The result? A 20% increase in customer satisfaction and a wave of positive reviews on Google and Trustpilot.
