Cloning a ticket
Customer support efforts are exceptionally quantifiable, so you must streamline and reduce the ticket resolution time to meet and exceed Service Level Agreement (SLA) targets.
Ticket cloning is one of the key steps in reducing ticket resolution time, which indeed leads to increased customer satisfaction. Having the ability to clone tickets quickly will position your subsequent processes for fast execution and support success.
With the Zoho Desk ticket cloning feature, you can enable quicker ticket creation and assignment, and thus it reduces the process of starting from scratch.
Ticket Cloning
The ticket cloning feature in the Zoho Desk enables you to create a new ticket by duplicating an existing ticket. This is particularly useful when you need the same ticket to be created for different contacts or to onboard new hires enabling them to solve an existing customer problem.
Notes
- This feature is not available for customers on the Free plan of Zoho Desk.
- Profile Permission Required: Agents with the Ticket Creation permission can clone tickets.
