Watchers

Each of the tickets can be assigned to a specific user to make sure that a given issue is solved quickly and efficiently. But in order to have more control over certain high priority issues, a new Watchers feature has been added.

A Watcher is a person who gets an email notification every time a status, priority or other ticket information changes. When the ticket is created, a Reporter (the person who created a ticket) and an Assignee (the person to whom the ticket is assigned) automatically become Watchers. If the ticket is created by the admin user, he automatically becomes a ticket watcher as well.

Adding Watchers to the Ticket

Watchers can be added to the ticket in one of the following ways:

  • By Customers via Email

In case the ticket is created from the email through email processing, the email sender and all the users from CC (if any) become watchers and receive email notifications each time the ticket content, status or priority is changed.

  • By Customers via Portal

To add watchers to the ticket via the portal, complete the following steps:

  1. Log into the Portal.
  2. Create a new ticket. To get the detailed instructions on how to create ticket via the portal, please refer to this section.
  3. Once the ticket is submitted, the screen with ticket description and editing options is opened. At the right side of this screen in the Watchers section click Add Watcher to add a person or several people who will be able to control the ticket workflow. Create ticket
  4. The Add Watcher pop-up opens. Specify the email of a person you would like to make a watcher for this ticket and click Add. If this email has been previously registered in DiamanteDesk, the system will recognize this user and add person’s first an last name to the list of watchers. If no matching account has been found, a new customer is created. Create ticket
  5. An email confirmation is sent to a person whose email was provided at the Add Watcher screen, notifying him on the new role granted.
  • By Admins via Admin Panel
