Hi everyone,
I’m exploring ways to automate ticket assignment in Freshdesk based on agent skills and workload. Currently, we’re manually assigning tickets, which is getting hectic as the team grows.

Has anyone implemented a smart workflow or rule that balances tickets automatically? Any tips, tricks, or do’s and don’ts would be super helpful.

Hey ​@jamesmite,

did you already have a look at the Automatic Ticket Distribution options in Freshdesk.
For most teams, they have plenty of options do deal with auto-routing.

 

Here is another deep-dive on Omniroute and it’s options: Enable Automatic Ticket Routing

 

How do you define “smart”? How nuanced are your agent’s skills and are they reflected in ticket fields already?

 

Best

Tom

Hi ​@jamesmite 

 

Skill based does exist on Enterprise plan: Support : Freshdesk

Another option that might work could be to build it with custom objects: Custom Objects - Ticket Creation automation : Freshdesk Support
