Customer Support Software, Without the Category Soup

Nothing meaningful. Customer service software usually means the whole platform, while customer support tools is the phrase people use for the pieces around it: a knowledge base, a chat widget, a survey tool, a deduplication service.

Customer support software turns every customer message, from email, chat, phone or social, into a trackable ticket with an owner, a status and a history. Help desk, ticketing system and customer service platform all describe roughly the same category.

No. Ticket Merger uses the native your helpdesk merge, so the conversation, attachments and audit history move onto the surviving ticket. The duplicate is closed with a note pointing at the original.

No. Once a pair matches your rules, Ticket Merger merges it. What you control is what qualifies: requester, the subject keywords you list, the time window, and the groups, forms or tags you exclude. To see how it behaves before it touches everything, point it at one group first and widen from there. Every merge leaves a note on the thread saying what was merged and why.

Rules you set. Match on requester, subject keywords, status, priority, category or group, and a time window, and exclude anything you want left alone, like tickets from a specific form, group or tag. Anything that does not clear those rules is left alone.

About five minutes to connect, and the first scan of your open queue runs immediately after. Onboarding help is included on every plan.
