Tickets

Tickets allow you to easily track issues and service requests from your clients.

Views

There are currently two main views for tickets

  • All tickets (from all clients)

  • Client-specific tickets - accessed via a client's view/page

Fields

  • Subject
  • Ticket description
  • Client & Contact
  • Priority (low/med/high)
  • Status (open, working, hold, auto-close, closed)
  • Related asset (future feature is to allow multiple assets)

Features

  • Agent Assignment/Re-assignment

  • Custom ticket prefix

  • Time tracking

  • Email integration

  • Private/internal notes

  • Merging
  • Scheduled tickets

  • Invoicing

  • Auto-close tickets - sends a friendly chaser message before automatically closing the ticket for good

Email Ticketing

Registered client contacts can create/update tickets via e-mail.

  • Configure at: Settings > Mail:
    • IMAP Host
    • IMAP Port
    • IMAP Encryption
  • Turn on: Settings > Ticket > Email-to-ticket parsing
  • Add a cron job to run email_parser_cron.php every min

Notifications

  • Client notifications can be configured to be sent on ticket creation & closure (“Send clients general notification emails”)
  • New ticket email notifications can be configured to a email/distribution list, so your team is always aware of new tickets (“Email address to notify when new tickets are raised”)
  • IN PROGRESS: Agents will be notified when assigned a ticket & when their assigned ticket is replied to / updated

Notes

  • Only supports basic authentication (no oAuth) for now - a “nice to have” in the future
  • Emails from unregistered contacts without a ticket reference are ignored (unless the from domain matches a domain registered in ITFlow)

API
