Ticket Deflection

Eliminate repetitive tickets and common issues

Search can reduce the number of repetitive tickets that agents receive. When submitting a ticket, search functionality will redirect customers to relevant content on your Help Center when they are submitting a ticket which prompts them to find their own resolution.

Ticket deflection in quick search suggests articles that already exist in your knowledgebase that should answer the issue, saving your agents time from answering the same tickets over and over again.

Agent Interface

Searching from within the helpdesk

For agents, using the search functions from within the helpdesk allows them to quickly locate specific tickets, customer information or anything else in your helpdesk.

The search bar enables agents to search ticket numbers, customer names, specific filters or keywords that refer to the contents of a ticket.

Quick ticket actions
Search enables agents to find the tickets faster so improves the speed of response and resolution.
Keep track of tickets
Searching for specific tickets with the ticket number or customer details makes it easier for agents to find and action a ticket without having to scroll through the helpdesk.
Additional details
Agents can see details about a search result from the interface such as how urgent a ticket is or the status of publishable content.

Saved search

Customize your search fields

You can filter your searches with Deskpro's saved search function; which enables agents and admins to create search categories within the agent interface.

Tickets are allocated to these categories by preset query fields that determine where a ticket is stored; these categories allow agents to quickly locate tickets that fulfil a particular set of criteria.

Search on Deskpro is really cool. It is incredibly deep and being able to search for anything within the same console, is really useful.

Search Words

Make relevant content easy to find

Lead customers to the most relevant article in your Help Center first time. Setting search words that are associated with a specific piece of content ensures it will always be included in the top of the search results.

Search words ensure published content in the Help Center that resolves specific problems will be quick to find and makes customers' lives easier.

When a helpdesk just works it is beautiful, and Deskpro did that from day one. Using the Feedback tool has enabled us to find out what our customers are really thinking. The support team at Deskpro have been very helpful and answered all of our questions.
