Ticket creation process

Ticket statuses

As of writing this article, our Zendesk configuration includes seven possible ticket statuses: New, Open, Pending, JIRA, On-hold, Solved, and JIRA Solved.

Understanding Ticket Statuses

Open – this status should be used by AdOps when creating a new ticket for Tech Support or when replying to an unresolved Tech ticket.

Pending – this status is used only by a Tech Support when a specialist is awaiting additional information or a response from AdOps.

JIRA – this status is used only by Tech Support when a bug is logged in JIRA. AdOps can view the bug status on the right panel of the ticket.

If you do not see the JIRA logo please press "+" sign and add it to your view

Solved – this status is used by Tech Support when the provided solution resolves the issue.

JIRA Solved - this status is used by Tech Support when the registered bug is resolved.


Ticket templates

There are templates available for tech-related tickets. The video below demonstrates how to select and complete the appropriate template. Please ensure you choose the template that corresponds to the topic of your ticket.

If you cannot find a correct template for your needs please use [Technical issues] > General - [Write the title].

It is important that you use the templates correctly. Account names, Campaign IDs must be written under and without additional text formatting

If you believe a new template is needed or have suggestions for improving existing templates from an AdOps perspective, please reach out to a Technical Support specialist via Slack.

Follow-ups

Solved tickets will automatically close after a certain period. To create a follow-up for the same issue, navigate to the closed ticket and click on "Create Follow-up."

If the ticket is marked as "Solved" but not yet closed, please reply within the same ticket and change its status to "Open."

If the issue with a "Solved" ticket is unrelated to the new issue you're reporting, please create a new ticket and set its status to "Open."


Additional notes

Please avoid adding Tech Support to the CC. Instead, provide a summary of your communication, highlighting the key issues and the specific areas where they occur.

Tech ticket creation workflow for AMs/BDMs

The common practice for AM/BDM is to reach out to AdOps first. Please contact the Tech Support Specialist directly only in exceptional cases.

Templates

Templates are mandatory, they reduce back and forth communication, ensures faster issue resolution time.

  2. Add subject and content to gmail compose tab (same as writing regular email) 
  3. Click three dots below and navigate to Templates -> Save draft as template -> Save as new template
