Workflows
Workflows define the lifecycle of a ticket, from creation to resolution. They map out the different states a ticket can be in and the transitions between those states.
Workflow Components
Status Categories
Workflows use color-coded status categories:
- To-Do (Black): Tasks that haven't been started
- In-Progress (Blue): Tasks that are currently being worked on
- Done (Green): Completed tasks
Additional categories can be added as needed, but the default categories cannot be deleted.
Workflow Design
Workflows are created as flow diagrams that connect different statuses through transitions:
- Define the statuses a ticket can have (e.g., New, Assigned, In Review, Resolved)
- Create transitions between statuses (e.g., from New to Assigned)
- Name each transition to describe the action (e.g., "Assign to Agent")
- Configure any fields that need to be filled during the transition
Workflow Integration
Workflows are created separately from templates and can be reused across multiple templates:
- Create workflows in the dedicated workflow design screen
- When configuring a template, attach the appropriate workflow to the status field
- This allows for standardized processes across different ticket types
