Ticket Tag

Ticket tags in Zoho Desk are labels applied to categorise tickets by topic, enabling filtered views, workflow automation, and category-level reporting.

A ticket tag in Zoho Desk is a short label applied to a ticket to categorise it by topic, issue type, product, or any other attribute. Tags enable agents to filter queues, trigger workflows, and generate category-based reports.

Applying Tags to Tickets

Tags can be added manually by agents or automatically by workflow rules and Zia’s Auto-Tag feature. Multiple tags can be applied to one ticket. Tags are searchable, filterable, and available as conditions in reports and automation rules.

Tag-Based Filtering and Views

Agents can create custom ticket views filtered by specific tags. A ‘Billing’ tag view shows only billing-related tickets, helping agents focus on their specialty without seeing unrelated tickets in their queue.

Tags in Analytics and Reporting

Reports filtered by tag show volume, response times, and resolution rates for specific ticket categories. If ‘Payment Gateway’ tagged tickets spike and have lower CSAT scores, this is a clear signal to investigate the payment process.

Example: An EdTech company uses ticket tags: ‘Course Access’, ‘Certificate’, ‘Payment’, ‘Refund’, and ‘Technical’. Agents working morning shifts filter their view to ‘Course Access’ tickets first, as these have the highest urgency for students preparing for classes.
