✅ Match tickets based on text extracted from subject or description (i.e. same unique identifiers such as Order ID)

What is wrong with manually merging Freshdesk tickets?
1
Repetitive and time-consuming
The manual merging of tickets takes up a lot of time, especially when there are many duplicates. This uses up time agents could spend helping other customers instead.
2
Prone to errors
Manual ticket merging can lead to agent errors like combining incorrect tickets or missing duplicate ones. Such mistakes may extend problem-solving time and annoy customers.
3
Customer Frustration
Manual ticket merging by agents can cause delays in customer responses and increase chances of mistakes, leading to more customer confusion and annoyance. Automating ticket merging in Freshdesk helps avoid these issues.

"A big help - when we hit peak season and see our queues creep up more than we'd like this app is brilliant for merging together multiple contacts from the same customer."

Customer Care Specialist
"The application works great, merges tickets without any problem, and allows a lot of flexibility with the criteria. It certainly saves a lot of management time."

This app is a lifesaver! I only wish we discovered it sooner. Saves our team a huge amount of time merging multiple tickets and they can now solve inquiries immediately.
Why Duplicate Tickets Can Cause Problems
1. Multiple agents working on the same issue
When customers submit duplicate tickets, several agents might work on the same problem simultaneously, decreasing the support team's efficiency and potentially causing delays in addressing other customer inquiries.
2. Customer confusion due to multiple responses
Duplicate tickets can lead to customers receiving multiple responses from different agents, causing confusion and negatively impacting the customer experience. This can also make it harder for customers to understand the resolution to their issue.
3. Inconsistent responses and solutions
With multiple agents handling the same issue, customers might receive varying responses or proposed solutions, affecting customer satisfaction and potentially harming the company's reputation.
4. Higher likelihood of errors
When several agents work on separate tickets for the same issue, the chances of making mistakes or providing incorrect information increase, further frustrating customers and prolonging the resolution process.
5. Challenges in tracking support metrics
Duplicate tickets can interfere with the accurate measurement of agent performance, response times, and resolution rates, leading to a distorted view of the support team's effectiveness and hindering efforts to improve service quality.
