What are the main characteristics of Tracker tickets?

Visibility to customer

Tracker tickets are internal only and cannot be shared with customers

Linking a Customer ticket or conversation to a Tracker ticket doesn’t notify the customer and doesn’t impact what they see in the Messenger.

Communication

Tracker tickets only allow internal notes

Notes posted on a Tracker ticket are internal only and not shared with customers. Any customer facing replies happen in the linked Customer ticket or conversation.

Updates are cross-posted from the Tracker ticket to the linked Customer tickets and conversations

When posting a note in the Tracker ticket, you can also choose to post the update to the linked Customer tickets and conversations.

Use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ / Ctrl Shift Enter to cross-post a note.

This guarantees the teammate assigned to the conversation is kept in the loop and has the full context they need.

Similarly, changing the Tracker ticket state cross-posts an event in the linked Customer tickets and conversations.

In a Tracker ticket, you can get a centralized view of all linked Customer tickets and conversations where you can broadcast a reply to customers.
