Customer Support Ticket Routing

Route support tickets to the right agent based on skills, availability, and workload. Reduce response times and improve customer satisfaction.

Smart Ticket Routing for Support Teams

Stop spending time manually triaging tickets. EnforcedFlow automatically routes incoming support requests to the agent best equipped to handle them.

Common Challenges

  • Skill mismatch - Technical issues go to billing agents, and vice versa
  • Availability gaps - Tickets assigned to offline agents sit waiting
  • Uneven queues - Some agents drowning while others idle
  • Language barriers - Customers can’t communicate in their language

How EnforcedFlow Helps

Route by Agent Skills

Use Skill-based Routing to match tickets to qualified agents:

  • Technical expertise (Product areas, integrations, APIs)
  • Issue type (Billing, account management, troubleshooting)
  • Language proficiency (Support in customer’s preferred language)
  • Customer tier (VIP, enterprise, standard)

Respect Working Hours

Use Availability Scheduling for global support teams:

  • Route to agents currently on shift
  • Handle handoffs between time zones
  • Queue tickets for off-hours appropriately
  • Support part-time and flexible schedules

Balance Agent Workload

Use Workload Balancing to prevent burnout:

  • De-prioritize mode: Agents with full queues get fewer new tickets
  • Priority mode: Senior agents handle escalations first
  • Fair distribution across the team

Understand Ticket Content

Use AI-Powered Routing to analyze tickets:

  • Analyze ticket description to determine category
  • Detect urgency from language used
  • Identify product area from context
  • Route without manual triage
