The TruCom platform Feature requests & roadmap
A good idea deserves a next step

Show customers their ideas have somewhere to go.

A suggestion should have a life beyond the conversation. Collect requests, understand the demand and let customers follow the progress you choose to share.

Hear the idea. Understand the reason.
Keep people in the picture.

Thanks for explaining, Ada. We’ve planned this change. We’ll share progress here so you can follow along.

Try a vote or follow in this local example.

Product example. Explore a request, its private team context and the progress customers can follow.

Make it easy to be heard

“Could your product
do this too?”

That question can come with a useful insight into someone’s day. Give it a place where the customer can explain the need, your team can ask a better question, and other people can add their experience.

Find

Start with what’s already there.

Let customers search requests, browse boards and filter by status. Sort by most voted, newest or recently updated, so useful ideas are easier to find.

Explain

Hear what they’re trying to do.

Collect a clear title and the reason behind the request. Enable screenshots or PDFs when a visual would help, and show related suggestions while someone writes.

Discuss

Make room for a useful reply.

Verified customers can comment and reply to a discussion. Your team can ask for detail or respond publicly, while keeping internal notes separate.

Would you need a different reference for each invoice, or one for the whole account?

Choose whether to allow public browsing, submissions, votes, comments and attachments. Participation uses a verified customer identity.

The number is a starting point

Votes tell you who cares.
Context helps you see why.

A popular request is worth a look. The conversations behind it help your team understand the problem, who is affected and what a useful improvement would change.

Link a request to relevant tickets or conversations. Add private notes, assign an owner and set an internal priority. Your team keeps the information it needs to make a considered decision.

Customer demand and business priority stay distinct. A vote adds a voice to the request; your team decides what to take forward.

Internal priority, notes and linked support content stay out of the public request.

Different words can describe the same need

Bring the demand together.
Keep the people with it.

One customer asks for a purchase-order number. Another calls it a company reference. When they describe the same improvement, merge the duplicate into a main request so your team has one place to follow it.

Company references on invoices

Company references
on invoices

Customer votes, follows and linked support evidence come together on the main request.

Each customer’s vote counts once.

Product example. A merged duplicate points people to the main request, and followers receive an update about the move.

A shared view of where things stand

Let people see
the idea moving forward.

Your roadmap draws from the requests your team is already working with. Choose the stages to show and their colours. Public, visible requests on public boards appear in the stages you enable.

Example requests and vote counts. Filter a stage to take a closer look.

Share the view that makes sense.

Planned, In Progress and Shipped give customers a simple view of progress. You can include other supported stages, such as Under Review or Not Planned, when they help tell the story.

Keep room for a considered decision.

Priorities can change. Update a request’s stage and explain the decision. A clear status is more useful than leaving people to guess what happened.

Don’t let the conversation end at submission

When there’s news,
bring people back into it.

Customers can follow a request they care about. Publish a stage change or a written update, and followers receive an email that brings them back to the request. The explanation stays with the progress.

A place in our plans.

Thanks for explaining how you use invoice references. We’ve planned this improvement and will share another update as the work moves forward.

Amara · Team update

Example progress messages. Your team chooses the decision, wording and time to publish.

Open discussion, with a team looking after it

Keep the public conversation
useful and considered.

Your team can organise requests into boards, keep sensitive ideas private and decide how customers participate. Give people a clear place to contribute while keeping the internal work close.

A clear identity

Know who is taking part.

Customers participate through a verified Support Centre account or an email verification link. They can use the link without creating a password.

A useful discussion

Make space for the detail.

Reply publicly to customer comments, keep team notes private and lock a discussion when it needs to close. Hide inappropriate requests or comments, with moderation controls for your team.

A view for your team

Keep the work organised.

Search and filter requests by board, stage, priority, visibility or owner. Keep the activity history alongside the request as your team reviews and updates it.

Before you open the board

A few things
you might be wondering.

Can our team capture ideas from support?

Yes. Your team can create a request in Feedback and link the relevant conversation or ticket as private support evidence. That keeps the reason close without publishing the customer’s support content.

Do customers need to create a password?

They can use a verified Support Centre account or verify their email with a link. After verification, they can submit, vote, follow or comment without creating a password.

What’s the difference between voting and following?

A vote shows support for an idea. Following keeps the customer informed about published updates. Voting also follows the request. Removing a vote keeps the follow in place; customers can unfollow separately.

Does every request appear on the roadmap?

The roadmap shows public, visible requests on public boards in the stages you enable. Private requests, hidden items and merged duplicates do not become roadmap cards. You choose the stages and their colours.

What happens when we merge duplicate requests?

Votes, followers and linked support evidence move to the main request. A customer who supported both requests still has one vote. The duplicate points to the main request, and affected followers receive an update.

Can we explain why an idea isn’t moving forward?

Yes. Use Not Planned and publish a written explanation. You can revisit the decision and move the request to another stage when priorities change.

Can we keep some feedback private?

Yes. Keep requests or boards private for your team’s review. Internal priorities, team notes and linked support content stay separate from the public request and discussion.

Where will customers find the requests and roadmap?

Enable Feature Requests and Roadmap in your Support Centre. Choose whether visitors can browse publicly and which participation options to offer. Access follows your workspace’s plan and setup.
