Customer support teams are faced with frustrating and repetitive daily tasks, and one of their biggest concerns is spending too much time on tagging tickets:
While tags are important to your business, agent time is becoming more and more valuable, so you need to find a way to automate repetitive processes like ticket tagging.
Enter keyword extraction, an AI tool that can be used to tag and route tickets automatically. Before we dive into keyword extraction, let's take a look at why ticket tagging is important.
All of this can help your team save up time as well as give managers the tools they need to analyze and improve their processes.
You can use the automatic tag feature that Zendesk provides. Which “scans new incoming ticket descriptions looking for words longer than two characters and then compares those words to the tags that have already been used. The top three matches are added to the ticket”
Very useful but it comes with its own set of disclaimers:
This means that if you are starting this process from scratch, it won't work, and it will require a big effort from your team to set up.
MonkeyLearn's online keyword extractor automatically tags tickets using machine learning, and can be combined with Zendesk to streamline your ticket tagging process.
