How can I split a ticket natively?
Hello, I would like to know how to split tickets natively in Zendesk. We have used te Split n Close third part app, but now it's limited its features to premium users, meaning that we would have to pay $3.00 per month per agent just to keep splitting tickets.
I consider that this is a basic feature (others cheaper helpdesks have it built in) and ZD must have a solution for its clients.

Hi Joao,
Splitting tickets is not supported natively in Zendesk. The app Split n Close that you've found is usually the one we would recommend you to use.
Hope that stills helps!

Hi Maude,
Not to be too bold on a Sunday morning, as you are here to help us out, but Joao was actually asking *why* Zendesk is not supporting this basic feature natively?
And actually, what at least I am looking for, is a feature to fork or split the tickets from the start. Because yes, it happens that end clients ask a new question after their initial issue had been solved. But they also often report unrelated issues in their initial ticket and to be able to fork these at that moment into not one but multiple tickets, that would help and, and I might not have checked their website too carefully, that is not what this app seems to be able to do.
Have a wonderful Sunday and thanks in advance! ☺

Count me in on the "why isn't this already baked in?" crowd.

For us the Side conversation Child Tickets could be an option for that. But right now some Features are still missing for us to use this. I added a comment to the Announcement article right here if you want to give this some votes: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054850174/comments/360005434054

Does the article still exist? It says that I'm not authorized to access the page even though I'm signed in as a user. I was going to add my vote but no luck there.

Hi Alan,
The side conversations announcement article is the Fabio refers so has been archived -- we generally do that to announcements articles once a feature has been released for a while. Adding your use case and upvoting this thread is your best course of action to add visibility to our product team on this request. Thanks!

This feature would definitely be useful to have in Zendesk natively. It would help with features like Explore and reports as well. I often encounter users that keep using the same ticket, so instead of 2 or 3 one-touch tickets, now we have a longer ticket. And if users have multiple queries in same ticket, it's easy to skip/forget one of them that is still open if the ticket is being updated with other queries/responses.

We need this feature! Upvote to have incorporated.

Upvoted!

100% upvoted !!

This would help us tremendously as well. Upvoted!

100% Upvoted, this will helps us to have everything more organized.

Yes please, we do need this - especially for a system we're paying quite a lot of money for. It is very frequent that situations occur where we would want to do this and logging new tickets manually is cumbersome and inefficient.
-
100% agree this should be a built-in feature. It is very cumbersome to use workarounds. Ever trying to make our workflow easier... Please, zendesk, this feature would be invaluable.
-
+1 upvote. This is definitely a feature we would use.
-
Upvoting the request to split/fork tickets
-
would help us too. Often getting one customer emailing us about multiple properties and we then need to manually create a second ticket to keep each individual property tracked and reported on for our KPI's. +1 upvote.
-
This is another function that comes standard with other ticketing systems, but Zendesk pushing an API.
-
Checking in a year later to say this is still a feature that I'm flabbergasted to discover doesn't already exist. Even Jira (AKA the worst helpdesk platform in existence) could do it, so this is a pretty glaring omission.
-
I am a bit disappointed to find out it is not supported native too. Please add this feature!
