What is a suspended ticket?

LiveAgent can detect spammy looking emails. In some helpdesk systems, these kinds of tickets are called suspended tickets. In LiveAgent however, they’re simply called SPAM. When a ticket is marked as SPAM, it’s not included in the “to solve” queue but it’s set aside. If you decide that a particular ticket is not SPAM, you can unmark it and add it to the regular queue.

LiveAgent SPAM filters can be set automatically or manually, based on your preferred conditions like keywords in subject or body of an email. This feature can help you ban IPs and make a list of blacklisted email addresses.

How to manage suspended tickets?

Managing and handling SPAM tickets can be a time-consuming task. However, with advanced SPAM detection capabilities, the ticketing tool can automatically identify and distinguish spammy-looking emails, marking them as suspended tickets. Separating these tickets from the others allows support agents to focus on genuine customer inquiries, delivering faster response times and better support quality. The ability of the ticketing tool to set up filters and blacklist IPs and email addresses further enhances its effectiveness. This is where choosing the best ticketing tool comes into play. Consider the different options available on the market, and make sure to compare the features that each of the tools provide. This will ensure that you choose the one that meets your specific needs.
