below is a diagram to show the ticket lifecycle nodes.

  • Trigger: trigger the ticket from multiple sources (system, app-x [stuff app, web app, etc...]), the trigger should carry the needed data to create the ticket based on the request<>user details

  • Create: after triggering the ticket, the system generate a new ticket inside the system, with the relevant ticket type, and user request request to move it to the matching step

  • Match: in this step, the created ticket will be matched to the relevant available (online) agents that holds certificate/s that make them eligible to handle this ticket type

  • Suggest: ticket will be stored in the suggestion databases according to the matching results, and these tickets will be suggested to agents based on some configurations

  • Assign: ticket will be assigned to a specific agent to handle it and start working on it

  • Close: last step of handling the ticket, based on multiple triggers to close it, including User marking ticket as complete.
