What is the Tickets feature, how can you use it, and how does it bring value to your business?
With Tickets, you can create tickets from calls in a queue to better follow up and manage your incoming calls. Call logs are created to better understand the call flow. Internal notes enable note-taking for better knowledge sharing and resolution. You have the option to loop in a colleague, making it easy to find experts to resolve a customer query.

Assign a ticket to a colleague who is not a member of the same queue
You can assign a ticket to a member in the same queue, or to a colleague who is not a member of the same queue, under the section Assignee.
To be able to assign a ticket to a colleague outside the same queue, that colleague needs to have the additional service CC Pro.
Follow the steps below to assign a ticket to a colleague who is not a member of the same queue:
- Click on Members.
- Click on Add member.
- Choose your colleague by clicking on the plus sign.
- Last but not least, click on Add.
Good to know:
If you assign a ticket to a colleague who does not have CC Pro, a pop-up window will inform you that the colleague you tried to assign a ticket to needs to have CC Pro.
Mentions
If you want to share information and knowledge or contact a colleague, you can do this by mentioning the colleague in the ticket. Simply write “@” and choose your colleague in the list.
The colleague receives a notification and an email that he/she has been mentioned in a ticket. If the colleague misses the notification, he/she can find the ticket in the email.
Tags
On your ticket, you can tag your ticket with the topic it relates to.
If you don't find a tag that is suitable for your ticket, write the name of the tag in the empty field and click on “new tag”, the tag is then saved for everyone to use.
You and all your colleagues with whom you share this ticket can see your tag, they can also add more tags to the ticket.
