When to Split a Ticket?
As part of a helpdesk system, you will frequently come across a situation where your customers reply to the same ticket thread. They respond with new queries or start a new topic on the same thread.
A lot of times, a ticket may contain many issues. You may need to resolve each of them individually. Handling all of the customer’s queries on a single ticket is a difficult task as it may have unrelated issues and requests.
Every customer query deserves attention. It is a cumbersome process for your agents to manually copy the customer reply from the ticket and create new tickets. It is going to be even more tedious for them if the responses have attachments.
The best way to manage and resolve all of those queries effectively is to make use of a feature that allows you to split the desired customer response into a new ticket. Agents from different departments can work on them. When splitting, the attachments that are part of the first contact update moves to the new ticket.
