Read Receipts for Tickets - New UI
When handling customer support tickets, customer replies play an important role in helping agents choose their next move. For example, if you've sent a message to notify a customer about their subscription renewal deadline, and haven't received a timely response, it will be difficult for you to decide the next course of action. In such cases, it would be helpful to know if the customer has seen the message, so you can decide whether to call them and follow up.
Read receipts indicate whether the customer has read your outgoing email. If there are multiple recipients, then read receipts indicate who has or hasn't read your message. This added clarity can help you make informed decisions.
Benefits of read receipts
Helps you choose your next steps for high-priority and escalated tickets.
Confirm whether outreach emails have reached the prospect.
Increases agents' productivity by allowing them to focus on read responses.
Note: Read receipts are only available for tickets that are created through emails.
