The new Messenger ticket links make it easy for customers to independently create tickets directly from the Messenger Home, without needing to send them a ticket form.

This is now available for Web Messenger and our SDKS.

Ticket links configuration

Go to Messenger Settings > Web > Content and click Customize Home with apps.

Scroll down to add the ticket links app by clicking the + icon.

Now you can select the ticket types you want to enable customers to create and their respective icons. To add multiple ticket types customers can choose from, click Add ticket type.

You'll only be able to select from Customer ticket types. You can add a new Customer ticket from the dropdown if one doesn't exist.

Upon clicking Done and saving, you'll see the ticket links card has been created and it will appear in the Messenger preview on the right.

Adding audience rules

Like other Messenger apps, you can set audience rules for ticket creation, which comes in super handy when you only want to show these ticket links to specific customers.

Then remember to click Save and set live to save these changes to your Messenger and allow customers to start creating tickets directly from the Messenger Home.

Editing or deleting ticket links

You can edit or remove the ticket links card by going to Messenger Settings > Web > Content and click Customize Home with apps.

Click on the ticket links card settings icon to make any changes.

Or click delete icon ⛔️ to remove the ticket links card from your Messenger Home apps.

Remember to click Save and set live to save these changes to your Messenger.


Customer experience

Clicking on a ticket link will open a ticket form which can be filled out and submitted. This is the same flow which is used when a teammate sends a ticket form to a customer from the Help Desk.

Customer creates a ticket from the Messenger home.

Customer completes and submits the ticket form.

Ticket successfully created. 🎉

Ticket links will only be visible to customers on the Messenger home if you've configured the ticket links card in your Messenger settings.
