Adding comments and tracking activities in customer support helpdesk systems helps maintain clear communication and detailed ticket history. Here’s how to manage ticket interactions in 3 steps.

Steps -

  1. Add email reply for customer communication
  2. Create internal notes for team collaboration
  3. Log activities and track time spent

Add comments/reply for customer communication

  1. Open the ticket you want to comment on
  2. Scroll to the Reply section at the bottom > Reply button
  3. Type your message in the comment field
  4. Click “send reply”

Public comments mean here that is visible to both customers and your support team. Here you can use it for :

  • Responding to customer questions
  • Providing status updates
  • Sharing solutions or next steps

Create internal notes for team collaboration

  2. Type your internal message
