Forwarding a ticket to an external contact


Deskero helps you organize tickets based on assignment rules that you configure. Tickets can also be manually forwarded or assigned with a mouse click when required. 

An agent to whom the ticket is assigned will be responsible for the ticket until it is resolved or closed. He can reassign the ticket at any time in order to get it solved.

Using the Forward ticket feature, tickets can be forwarded or re-assigned to support agents. If you want to forward a ticket or send a copy of the ticket to external contacts, you can use the option Forward to an external email.

How do I add an additional customer to a ticket using the Customer CC option?

Deskero  lets you send a copy of the ticket to any person who can follow up and receive agent's answers just like the original customer. The customer to  whom you want to add in CC can be an existing customer or a new user whose details will automatically be added to your customer base.

For  that, add new customer contact(s) into the CC field in this format: Richard Roe (richardroe@demomail.in)  while replying to the actual  customer. The system will add the contact to database and forward the ticket.

Using the Forward ticket feature, tickets  can be forwarded or re-assigned to support agents. If you want to send a copy of the ticket to external contacts, you can use the option Forward to an external email.
