Purser

The customer record · designed, being built

Every customer, one record.

Support tickets by email, contacts and companies, leads and the pipeline — for every product, with nothing to install in any of them.

What it is

What Purser owns.

The design in six lines. The full version is in the docs.

Email-first support

support@your-product arrives as a ticket; replies go out from the same address with the threading headers that keep conversations whole.

Contacts and companies

A contact the moment someone writes in, keyed so it converges with their identity the day they sign up. Companies hold the contacts.

Leads and the pipeline

A lead is a conversation with a stage: lead → qualified → demo → proposal → negotiation → won. Activities and follow-ups hang off it.

Internal or to the customer

Every message says which it is. An internal note can never leak; a reply is always deliberate.

Zero integration

Onboarding a product is DNS for its support address and a workspace row. No SDK, no widget, no code in the product.

Everything is an event

Status history, response times and the pipeline are projections over the event log — analytics without schema work.

How it goes

Three steps.

  1. 01

    Point the mail

    Set the MX for support@your-product and verify the address; inbound mail becomes tickets.

  2. 02

    Answer from one inbox

    Every product's queue, filterable by workspace, one sign-in through Latchkey.

  3. 03

    Grow the record

    Add companies, stages and activities as sales needs them; wardroom mirrors it all as threads.

Questions

Asked already.

Do my customers need an account?
No. A requester is an email address. Linking to a signed-in identity happens by itself if they ever sign up.
Where do the tickets show up?
In purser's inbox, and mirrored as threads in wardroom for the team that lives there.

Know who is writing.

Tickets, contacts and leads in one record, for every product, from the first email.
