Integration With Customer Support Ticketing

Purpose

1. Automate integration of customer support ticketing across multiple communication channels in a Mercedes-Benz dealership, ensuring all inquiries, complaints, and requests from customers (via email, web forms, calls, chat, etc.) are automatically routed, tracked, escalated, and resolved in a unified ticketing system.

3. Enables automated ticket assignment, notification, status updates, escalations, reporting, and cross-system sync for both internal teams and external customer communications.

Trigger Conditions

1. New message received via email, SMS, live chat, web contact form, or social media.

2. Change of ticket status (e.g., new, in-progress, resolved, escalated).

3. Customer follow-up or update to existing ticket.

4. Missed SLA or unresolved ticket for predefined duration.

5. Internal task or comment added to ticket.
