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. You can create call logs 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.
