How to Setup Support Ticket Automations

Ticket automations allow you to setup automated rules to manage the support emails, web form submissions, and Twitter tweets you receive via LiveHelpNow Email-Ticket Management.

Ticket triggers provide too many benefits to catalog; ranging from smart ticket routing to SLA management to custom notifications and so much more. This video explains typical use cases:

As explained in the video, you can-

• Assign tickets to properly skilled operators automatically based on email subject, email body, email source, ticket category and many other possible conditions.
• Trigger changes to ticket status, priority, category, and other ticket attributes automatically.
• Schedule your ticket triggers for specific time periods and days of the week.

Please Note- Each Ticket Trigger will activate once per applicable ticket.
