  • Reduce duplication: Avoid handling the same issue across multiple tickets.
  • Improve efficiency: Manage customer interactions more effectively by combining tickets.

FAQs

While Zendesk's native merge feature allows for basic ticket merging, our app automates the processes, customized to your needs. By merging the most recent ticket with the same feature - such as order, ID, or subject - you reduce your backlog and streamline your workflow.

When a new ticket is created, the app searches for existing tickets that match the criteria you’ve set (such as requester, subject, order ID, or any custom fields). If a matching ticket is found, the new ticket is automatically merged into the existing one in the background.

You can choose standard fields like the ticket requester or any custom fields to set the criteria for merging tickets. You can also define the status of a ticket that should be merged and add custom tags during the process.

The app is designed to merge tickets based on the criteria you set. Typically, companies merge tickets from the same requester or company, but you can customize the criteria to fit your specific needs.

No, the Merge Tickets app does not parse ticket content. If you need to parse ticket content to make merge decisions, consider using our Ticket Parser App, which can extract and analyze ticket information.

The merging process is fully automatic. Once you set your criteria, the app will automatically find and merge tickets that match those criteria, running entirely in the background.

The app adds comments and tags to both the original and new tickets for easy tracking and reporting. The secondary tickets are then closed, helping reduce backlog.

Yes, our app is completely free to use with no hidden costs.

The main limitation is that it does not parse ticket content, only the content of the ticket fields. If your merging process requires parsing and analyzing ticket information, you should use one of our other apps designed for that purpose as well, like Ticket Autofill.
