Ticket operations

Real conversations do not arrive one issue at a time

Customers reply twice, forward to two addresses, and raise a second problem halfway down an email. Merge and split keep the queue honest without losing history or breaking reporting.

  • Merge duplicates into a single ticket with a combined timeline
  • Split a message into its own tracked ticket with its own owner
  • Both actions are recorded in the audit trail with who and when
  • Customers keep replying to the thread they already know

What your team actually sees

Merge and split open as focused modals from the thread header, showing exactly which messages move and what the resulting tickets will look like.

Our March invoice shows 14 seats but we only have 11 active agents. Can you check before we pay?

Internal note - not visible to the customer

Billing exported the seat log: 3 seats deactivated on 12 March, pro-rata credit due.

AI draft - grounded in docs + 42 past resolutions

Hi Priya, you are right - three seats were deactivated on 12 March. I have raised a pro-rata credit of £186 against invoice INV-2291 and it will appear on your next statement...

Capabilities

Built for this job, not bolted on

Merge with preview

Pick the surviving ticket, see the merged timeline, and confirm before anything changes.

Split at a message

Choose the message that raises a new issue; it becomes ticket one of a new thread.

Nothing is deleted

Merged tickets stay resolvable by reference and point at their new home.

Clean metrics

Duplicates stop inflating volume counts and skewing resolution averages.

Links preserved

Attachments, tags and client associations follow the messages they belong to.

Ownership stays clear

The merged ticket keeps one owner, so two agents never answer the same customer.

How it runs

From arrival to answer

  1. 1

    Spot the duplicate

    Search or the customer history panel surfaces the other thread.

  2. 2

    Open the modal

    Merge or Split from the thread header, with the target ticket selected.

  3. 3

    Confirm the result

    The preview shows the resulting timeline and ownership.

  4. 4

    Carry on

    The audit trail records the operation and the queue counts correct themselves.

Detail

The small print that matters

Where it lives

The ticket thread header inside Inbox.

Reversibility

Merges are logged with source references so support history stays traceable.

Reporting

Merged duplicates are excluded from volume so trends reflect real demand.
