The merged ticket retains the full conversation history from all source tickets, and duplicate records are removed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>When to Merge Tickets<\/h2>\n<p>Tickets should be merged when the same customer submits duplicate requests through different channels or at different times about the same issue. Merging prevents agents from working the same problem twice and ensures the customer receives one cohesive response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>How Merging Works<\/h2>\n<p>When tickets are merged in Zoho Desk, one ticket is designated as the primary. All conversation history from the secondary tickets is imported into the primary ticket. Secondary tickets are closed automatically. The customer receives a notification that their tickets have been merged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Merge vs Link<\/h2>\n<p>Merging permanently combines tickets into one, collapsing duplicate records. Linking keeps tickets separate but associates them with a relationship type. Use merging for true duplicates; use linking for related but distinct issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A customer submits a refund request via email and then submits the same request via the web form 2 hours later. An agent identifies both tickets and merges them. The primary ticket retains both conversations, and the agent resolves it once with one clear communication to the customer.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/linked-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Linked Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/split-ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Split Ticket<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/ticket-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Ticket<\/a><br \/>\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>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Merge Tickets in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Merging tickets in Zoho Desk combines duplicate tickets from the same customer into one record.
