Linking helps agents see connections between issues without merging them.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Types of Ticket Links<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Desk supports several link types: Related To (two tickets address connected issues), Caused By (one ticket&#8217;s issue is the root cause of another), and Duplicate Of (the same issue reported twice). Each link type gives agents context about the relationship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Benefits of Linking Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Linking tickets prevents agents from solving the same problem twice without knowing about each other&#8217;s work. When one linked ticket is resolved, agents working on related tickets are notified, helping them close their own tickets faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Linked Tickets vs. Sub-tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike sub-tickets, linked tickets maintain independent hierarchies. Linked tickets are used for association rather than task delegation. Sub-tickets are used when one issue needs to be split into coordinated parallel tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> Two customers report the same payment gateway error on the same day. A support agent links both tickets as &#8216;Duplicate Of&#8217; each other. When the payment team resolves the issue and closes one ticket, the agent on the second ticket is notified to close it as well.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/sub-ticket-child-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Sub-ticket (Child Ticket)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/parent-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Parent Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/merge-tickets-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Merge Tickets<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Linked Ticket in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A linked ticket is a ticket associated with another ticket through a relationship type such as Related To, Caused By, or Duplicate Of.
