Support tickets let you track customer issues from creation through resolution. When a customer reaches out through the chat widget, sends a message, or when your team identifies an issue, a ticket captures the details and tracks progress.

Ticket Lifecycle

Every ticket moves through a series of statuses:
StatusDescription
NewJust created, awaiting review
OpenAcknowledged by your team, work has not started
In ProgressBeing actively worked on
Waiting on CustomerYour team has responded, awaiting customer reply
ResolvedThe issue has been fixed
ClosedTicket is complete, no further action needed
SpamMarked as spam and excluded from active views
Use Waiting on Customer to keep your active ticket count focused on issues that need your team’s attention.

Creating Tickets

From the Dashboard

1

Click Tickets in your workspace sidebar.
2

Click New Ticket.

5

Save the ticket

Click Create. It starts with a New status.

From Widget Conversations

When a visitor uses the chat widget, tickets can be created from the conversation. This links the ticket to the conversation so your team has full context.

Ticket Activities

Every ticket maintains an activity log that records its full history:
  • Status changes (e.g., New to In Progress)
  • Priority changes
  • Assignments and reassignments
  • Notes and internal comments from team members
  • Links to related chat conversations
The activity log provides a complete audit trail.

Chat Linking

You can link a chat conversation to a ticket, giving your team one-click access to the full conversation that led to the support request.

Widget Ticket Creation

The chat widget can create tickets from visitor conversations.
1

Troubleshooting

Verify that ticket creation is enabled in your assistant’s widget settings. Check that the widget is using the correct assistant ID. If Require contact info is enabled, confirm the visitor completed the form.
Check the status filter on the tickets dashboard. Tickets with Closed or Spam status may be hidden by default. Use the search bar to find tickets by subject.
