Introduction

If you think Supportify is just for paycheque advances—you’re missing out!

The platform is loaded with automations, customizable workflows, and hidden gems that top Canadian startups use to reduce admin, accelerate support, and cut employee turnover.

We asked Canada’s fastest-scaling teams for their Supportify “hacks”—the real-world tricks, time-savers, and settings that make all the difference.

Here are 10 actionable tips you can try today: quick wins to save hours, reduce errors, and make your employee experience shine.

Save Canned Replies for Fast, Friendly Support

Tip: Build a library of “canned” responses for your most common employee questions—then customize with personal touches.

Real Startup Example:
A Toronto tech firm trimmed average response time by 45% after every agent added at least 5 personalized canned replies in Supportify.
“It’s like having post-its for every scenario—huge time saver!” – Support Lead, Toronto

Use Auto-Escalations to Eliminate Stalled Tickets

Tip: Set rules so urgent pay advance requests or flagged issues escalate to a manager automatically after X hours. No more lost tickets or missed deadlines.

How to Set Up:
Go to Settings > Automations > Auto-Escalate > Choose “Unresolved over 2hrs” triggers.

Connect Slack to Get Real-Time Alerts

Tip: Tie Supportify into Slack to get instant ticket updates, approvals, or withdrawals notifications right in your team channel.

Case Study:
A Vancouver fintech saved 3+ hours/week by triaging high-priority tasks directly from Slack—no more context-switching.

Power Up with Multi-Step Macros

Tip: Program “macros” to handle multi-step tasks automatically (like closing cases, sending follow-ups, updating employee records).

Example Macro:
Click once and Supportify:

  • Marks ticket as resolved
  • Schedules follow-up
  • Sends confirmation email
Route Requests by Topic—Automatically

Route Requests by Topic—Automatically

Tip: Use smart routing so every paycheque question, HR request, or benefits query lands with the right team member, every time.

How Top Teams Use It:
Montreal SaaS startup reduced average ticket handling time by 38% after activating topic-based routing in Supportify.

Create Approval Templates for Managers

Tip: Build approval flows for paycheque advances, time-off, or expense claims so managers get prompted with the right info—no back-and-forth.

Startup Hack:
Use “Manager Only” status for sensitive workflow steps and get instant visibility on pending actions.

Schedule Paycheque Advances with One Click

Tip: Enable scheduled payments so employees can plan advances ahead, reducing last-minute requests and confusion.

User Story:
A Halifax retail chain cut payday email volume in half by letting staff set up advances in advance (pun intended!).

Tip: Dive into Supportify’s analytics dashboard for real-time insights:

  • Response time
  • Resolution rates
  • Employee satisfaction (CSAT)
    Track trends by team, issue, and time period to catch bottlenecks fast.
Pro Move:

Set Up Quick Access Shortcuts

Set Up Quick Access Shortcuts

Tip: Use custom menu shortcuts to jump straight to your busiest queues (urgent tickets, open advances, new requests).

Real User Advice:
“I have direct links on my dashboard for today’s requests—no digging around. Saves 30+ minutes/week.” – Calgary-based team lead

Share Wins & Feedback with Built-In Broadcasting

Tip: Use Supportify’s broadcast feature to celebrate team wins, share updates, or close the loop on recurring questions company-wide.
