Understanding Ticket Queue
Updated
Understand everything about Ticket Queues and how it helps agents to receive the relevant tickets at the right time based on pre-defined conditions.
A Ticket Queue is an ordered collection of tickets that get assigned to agents based on predefined conditions. Queues ensure that the right tickets reach the right agents at the right time. With Ticket Queue, you can define queue conditions for tickets received on Digital Channels and Voice Channels separately. A Voice Channel is defined when a customer reaches out to the support via a call whereas channels like Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Livechat, etc. are called Digital Channels.
All the received tickets can be stored into different groups based on various predefined conditions. These conditions can be set based on the business hours you define ensuring that all your tickets reach the right agents/teams and are resolved at the right time.
For example, if you create a Ticket Queue A with the keyword “Refund”, all the tickets with the keyword Refund will fall into the Ticket Queue A.
Ticket queues also let you define actions that you want to trigger when you are not available since you are Out of business hours. It helps you automatically trigger the required actions with a personalised message.
For example, if you receive a ticket in your queue while your team is out, you can reply to your customer with an auto-response ensuring that the team is unavailable and will get back soon.
