Betty Our original Auto Merge App has been live for a while now. You can auto merge using Zendesk triggers to merge in real time or a scheduled job to merge tickets from views in batches (more robust than using Zendesk automations). Sorry, I haven't updated this thread since we first launched it.

Stefania La Licata Actually, it’s possible depending on your requirements and workflow. Many of our Auto Merge app customers have a similar requirement for tracking/reporting purposes. If your agents don’t need to modify the default merge comments pre-populated by Zendesk, you can create a trigger based on the comment text.
1. If you want to update the source (closed) ticket:
Conditions (meet ALL)
- Status > Is > Closed
- Comment text > Contains the following string > This request was closed and merged into request
Actions
- Your custom Category field > Merged ticket
2. If you want to update the target (active) ticket:
Conditions (meet ALL)
- Ticket > Is > Updated
- Comment text > Contains the following string > was closed and merged into this request. Last comment in request
Actions
- Your custom Category field > Merged ticket
You can “tag” either or both tickets.

Jake Bowen Is it possible that those users were created before the organization was created? If so, I don't believe Zendesk will automatically map the existing users to the appropriate organization.

Our Playlist Routing App has a similar Out of Office feature. While I don't know exactly how Zendesk's app is implemented, I can say that there are API limitations preventing us from designing a scalable and robust solution. We get a lot of clients reporting inconsistencies too.
Our biggest challenge is with bulk updates. They are delayed and not guaranteed. We'd have to poll job statuses for UpdateConflict errors and retry failed updates. Polling counts against your rate limits, and it's slow. By the time the app retries, it's possible for an agent to be back online already. Polling and retrying is inefficient, defeating the purpose of bulk updating to minimize API requests, so our solution doesn't even bother retrying. Ideally, there is a synchronous bulk update option that we can use to guarantees an update every time.
Another fundamental issue is that there isn't an API to query for specific tickets using fresh data. Search API is not reliable due to the time required (1 - 5 minutes) to index records for search. We don't have an efficient way to get a full list of the agent's non-closed tickets at scale.
Once these API limitations are addressed, we could make dramatic improvements to our version of Out of Office.

Lara Our Routing app has a "Playlist Button" feature that automatically assigns tickets to agents when they click on the button. It's designed to address most of the main limitations of Zendesk's Play Button (aka Guided mode). No skipping. No agent collision. To learn more, see Playlist Button: Alternative to Zendesk's Guided Mode.

Beto Matt Simpson One reason might be that closing out a live chat ticket while it’s still active will terminate the chat session. There are also some other quirks with voice messages and live phone calls. We do get requirements to exclude certain channels from time to time (for our Ticket Merge app).

FQ Support If the Zendesk rep was unable to reproduce the issue while assuming the agent’s profile, it’s probably a browser issue. Has the agent tried clearing their browser’s cache?

Matt Russell As Dave mentioned, this is not possible natively in Zendesk. If you’re open to using an app, we (“Playlist”) have a Ticket Merge app that allows you to customize the default message for both comments. You’ll have to train your team to use the app instead though.

Martin Meraner No additional steps. Simply select the tickets you want to merge and click "Merge". Here's a quick demo.
Our (Playlist's) clients don't usually have a requirement to merge tickets from views. Most of them actually prefer to just automatically merge "duplicate" tickets with Auto Merge instead. No manual input from agents, which tend to be mistakes.
