When we talk about customer support, we invariably think of a ticketing platform. That’s where all the support ‘tickets’ are created and handled. As the company grows, they start seeing a surge in new tickets created. And if the company doesn’t scale the support team at the same time, there end up with a pile of untouched tickets. Leaving a trail of unhappy customers behind.  

That’s not the only thing that creates bad customer experiences. Today’s customers want more than just solutions to their issues. They want quick, personalised and round the clock support. It’s one reason why customer support is now moving to chatbots. 

Businesses are looking at AI-powered chatbots to build delightful conversational experiences with their customers. They can meet the customer demand of speed, personalisation, 24×7 availability. It goes one step further and allows users the option of self-service. 

And this is made possible by chatbot-ticketing platform integration. 

Power up support with self-service

40% of customers today want self-service. It’s the option that lets them find solutions to their product/service related issues on their own. By integrating the ticketing platform with chatbots, you can streamline this process seamlessly. 

With the integration, the chatbot can retrieve relevant information from the knowledge base. This way, the user will not have to endlessly scroll through the page to find what they are looking for. They can just ask on the chatbot and get the information instantly. 

And after every chat is closed, the integration will create a new ticket on your ticketing platform, ensuring all tickets are in one place. So the user could be connecting with you on the website, WhatsApp or voicebot, and all tickets from different channels will be updated on the central platform. 

The integration can also check which agent is best equipped to handle the chat based on their skills and experience. So if human intervention is required, it can allocate the chat to the right person in the right department. 

This brings us to another important question. What other benefits will you see from chatbot-ticketing platform integration? 

1. Automation to reduce routine work

Routine, repetitive tasks take up a lot of your agents’ time, reducing their productivity and eventually motivation. Integration automates these tasks so that agents are free to take up more important and challenging work. 

2. Informed agents for high efficiency

One of the challenges customers face while raising tickets is the async between support agents and sales reps. With a unified customer profile, all information from sales, marketing and support can be found in one place. 

3. Scrutinisation of chats for risk level

Sensitive, critical and high-risk queries need to be handled carefully and by human agents. The integration allows the chatbot to identify priority tickets and route them to the appropriate support rep without any delay. 

4. Low-resolution time for better CSAT

Now that agents have to focus on only the complex tickets and have a unified customer view to get relevant information and context, they can save a lot of time. This helps speed up the process and reduce the time taken to resolve tickets.
