Ticket Forwarding

About Ticket Forwarding

You can automatically reassign new tickets being assigned to you to another user while you are out of office. While ticket forwarding is enabled, the ticket is directly assigned to the other user instead of the original user.

This feature applies to tickets assigned to a user after ticket forwarding is enabled. For example, tickets I opened last week before I went out of office will not be reassigned. But tickets people try to assign to me while I have forwarding enabled will be reassigned to a person of my choice.

Enabling and Disabling for a Brand

Only Brand Administrators can turn on this setting. Once it is on, it is available for every user in the brand, but users do not have to use it unless they want to.

3. Select Enable ticket forwarding feature for users.
   
4. Click Save.

Using Ticket Forwarding

Disabling Ticket Forwarding

A banner will appear above your ticket settings when you’ve enabled ticket forwarding. To disable it, click Disable Forwarding.
