About Ticket Events
Have you ever wished you could get an email when someone makes a sub-ticket on one of your tickets? Maybe you want your colleagues to receive an email if you change the priority of their ticket to high. Or maybe you want to know right away if a ticket’s been deleted.
Ticket Events allow you to set different tasks into motion (such as emails, Salesforce triggers, or Slack messages) when something happens to a ticket in Qualtrics.
Types of Ticket Events
The following can be used to define a Ticket Event:
- Comment Added: Someone added a comment to a ticket.
- Status Changed: Someone changed the status of a ticket.
- Priority Changed: Someone changed the priority of the ticket.
- Ticket Reassigned: The ticket owner was changed to someone else.
- Sub-ticket Created: A sub-ticket was created for the ticket.
