Creating tickets with FreshDesk

Once you've integrated your B2Chat account with FreshDesk, you can begin creating tickets from our console. Tickets 🎫 are a great tool for agents 👥 who cannot resolve an incident or answer a request during a conversation and need to assign the case to another agent or department and follow up on it. When creating a ticket, messages sent 📩 within a chat 💬 will automatically be attached to it. This allows agents 👥 to receive detailed feedback on the interaction that took place and a clear idea of ​​the case to be solved.

To create a ticket, follow these steps:

1. To create a ticket, the agent must have the conversation they want to send to Zendesk active. At the top of your screen, you will see an icon that says Create ticket.
   
2. Click on the icon and the ticket will automatically be created in FreshDesk.
3. Our system will provide you with a number for the ticket you created in FreshDesk.
   
4. Keep in mind that if the contact 👤 does not exist in FreshDesk, a new contact will be created associated with the contact that initiated the conversation in B2Chat. If the contact already exists in FreshDesk (their email exists in FreshDesk), only one ticket will be created 🎫 associated with this contact.
5. The ticket will appear in your FreshDesk inbox 📥 with the subject (Ticket from B2Chat) and without it being assigned to an agent 👥.
6. Once you've selected the ticket, you can assign it to an agent and view conversation details.
7. The agent will be able to continue with ticket management in FreshDesk without any issues.
