In a recent Zoho Product update we announced a new ticketing experience in Zoho Desk, Contextual Ticket Linking. This is a game-changing feature, also known as Parent-Child ticketing. This empowers you to effortlessly track ticket progress and provide timely, consistent responses to customer inquiries.

Whether managing complex issues requiring input from multiple teams or addressing recurring concerns across numerous customers, Zoho’s parent-child ticket system streamlines your workflow for simple communication. Imagine a scenario where your product experiences an unexpected outage. With multiple customers reaching out for updates, maintaining a unified voice and ensuring consistent communication becomes paramount.
