Mass Replying Tickets - Online Help | Zoho Desk

Sending Mass Replies to Tickets

In the world of automation, where businesses use every opportunity to reduce manual intervention and get quick, infallible results; customer support teams spending most of their work hours replying to queries can be counter-productive.This can be particularly difficult when a business receives a large volume of tickets. Adhering to the SLA standards can become challenging.

In real-time, there can be various situations when businesses receive queries on a similar topic.
  1. Temporary downtime of an application or service.
  2. Onboarding request for a product
  3. Request for subscription renewals
  4. Request for product brochures
  5. Information on case studies or business use cases from a particular industry.
In all the above scenarios, you are likely to send a similar response to the customers. Instead of replying to their emails individually, agents can send a bulk response. Not only does it save time, it mitigates chances of sharing incorrect information that may occur due to repetitive replies sent for similar enquiries.

  1. Initiated - Emails that are in queue and are yet to be delivered can be viewed here. For each bulk reply, the date and time the email was sent, the agent name, number of tickets to which the reply was sent, and the department to which the tickets belong will be displayed..
  2. Completed - Emails that have been successfully sent to the recipients will be listed here. In addition to the date and time the email was sent, agent name, department and the status, additional details as to the number of recipients that did not receive the email will also be shown.
