When a customer contacts an agent directly with a query or request, the agent can create a ticket on their behalf using the Agent portal. The customer’s name is listed as the ticket requester. Additionally, agents can also raise tickets for themselves in the helpdesk by creating the ticket from the Agent portal with their own name as the ticket requester.
In this help center article, we’ll guide you through the steps of creating a new ticket from the Agent Portal, helping you streamline your customer support process.
