NextOS offers businesses the flexibility to choose the preferred communication channels for each Team. Administrators can configure communication channels so customers can quickly contact the appropriate department via phone or email. For example, a business might want to provide the option for customers to contact the sales and support teams by phone or email, but only email for the billing department.
