What is a ticket ID?
A ticket ID is a reference number consisting of a sequence of capitalized letters and numbers. Each ID consists of 11 characters and looks like the following format XXX-XXXXX-XXX.
Every time a ticket ID is used in LiveAgent, f.x. in a note or in an internal chat, it is automatically hyperlinked for your convenience. If ticket ID A is mentioned in the note of ticket B, it’s also automatically mentioned in ticket A as well.

How can you use a ticket ID?
One of the key benefits of using a ticketing tool is the unique ticket ID assigned to each customer interaction. This ticket ID serves as a reference point for customer support representatives, allowing them to easily monitor, manage and find specific tickets without having to search through your help desk system. With the ticket ID, support agents can efficiently organize and prioritize all incoming tickets, ensuring that all customer inquiries are handled. These ID’s are extremely useful because they eliminate confusion and save tons of time for agents. You can also set up automation rules to categorize and prioritize tickets automatically, saving you time and improving efficiency.
What is a ticket?
A ticket is a service request from an end-user. Service requests can be from a multitude of communication channels. Such as email, live chat, social media, or even through the phone. Every time a new customer communication comes in, ticketing software automatically converts the interaction into a support ticket with an ID.

Automated Ticket Distribution
To have efficient customer service, you need to rightfully divide the number of tickets, calls, chats each customer representative gets per shift. As a result, you can prevent agent burnout and increase overall efficiency. Automated ticket distribution allows you just that. You can define the amount as well as a break that the agent should take throughout the day.
Support Ticket Ownership – Responsibility
Having centralized ticketing software for your customer service agents is a useful system for many reasons. Not only can you see agent performance reports, but you can also see which agent has dealt with which ticket. This prevents more agents from working on the same customer issue. Moreover, you can easily detect who was responsible for a specific customer issue. Also, if you need to transfer the customer to a different department, you can easily transfer the ticket ownership. As a result, you will never hear: “I didn’t know it was my responsibility.”
