Ticket lists

Upsales provides lists that you can filter by:

My open tickets: Tickets assigned to you that require your response
My pending tickets: Tickets waiting for a customer reply
My on hold tickets: Tickets paused for internal reasons (not waiting for customer)
My closed tickets: Tickets assigned to you that have been solved
All open tickets: All tickets in your support team requiring a response
All pending tickets: All team tickets waiting for customer replies
All on hold tickets: All team tickets paused for internal reasons
All closed tickets: All solved tickets
All archived tickets: Stored tickets that can be accessed when needed instead of being deleted

External contact

What is an external contact?
There might be times when you need to reach out for assistance from others, like a vendor, business partner, or expert. This could be someone outside your business. You can have multiple external conversations.

1. Click the Add external contact icon:
   
   
   
   
2. This generates an email that includes the support ticket's conversation:
   
   
   
   
3. Add the third party's email address, and a subject line (you can also search for an existing contact or company) and click Add external contact:
   
   
   
   
4. You're now able to reply to the new external contact and view the conversations you've had with them.
