Within Teamwork Desk, you can merge multiple tickets from the same customer into a single ticket thread.

Before you start

Merge process

  • Merging tickets cannot be undone.
  • Tickets being merged must be from the same customer.
    • Any drafts or replies currently being worked on in the selected ticket(s) will be lost when the tickets are merged.
    • Any CC addresses already included in the original tickets will be maintained when the tickets are merged.
    • Only the custom field data on the primary ticket is retained after merging so choose your primary ticket carefully. All other custom field information is removed. Custom fields are available on Premium and Enterprise subscriptions.
  • If an agent attempts to access a ticket (via URL) that has been merged into another, the URL redirects them to the other ticket.
  • Teamwork Desk limits for tickets and attachments also apply when merging tickets into a single thread.
  • Tickets currently under review via Training Wheels cannot be merged until they have been reviewed. These tickets are still shown in the merge selection list but are grayed out.
