Today we are excited to offer a new, improved, and more powerful SnapEngage and Desk.com integration! Desk.com recently notified us that they were releasing a new API that had more capabilities than you could shake a stick at (although one should never shake a stick, especially if there is a nest of angry wasps attached to it).
