Merging duplicate tickets
Customer opened the same request twice? Merge both into one ticket without losing a single message.
Vue d’ensemble#
When a customer sends the same problem through two channels (for example the chat and email), you can merge the duplicate into the main ticket: all messages move across, the duplicate is closed and shows a Merged into ticket #number badge that takes you to the main ticket, and the main ticket records Ticket #… was merged into this ticket.
