Process - Waiting on CustomerUpdated 2 years ago

Process Objective 


This process is designed to trying to engage the customer with standardized timeframes between communication to continue to progress tickets towards resolution and keep them from going stagnant. As the agent your role in this will be minimal and work in connection with FreshDesk's automated time triggers.


This process is to be followed when you have opened a ticket where the rep has attempted to contact the customer and had no response from them for 72 hours.


  1. After 72 hours of the ticket being in "Waiting on customer" with no response from the customer the ticket status will automatically change to Open, pushing the ticket back into the  ‘All - Open Tickets’ queue

  2. When you open one of these tickets send canned response ‘NCR1 | No Customer Response 1’ and set ticket Status to ‘Waiting on Customer’

  3. If you are processing tickets and the system has reopened a ticket a second time and you can see that the first NCR canned response has been sent, send canned response ‘NCR2 | No Customer Response 2’ and set ticket Status to ‘Resolved’
