Open the ticket window after a chat is closed or abandoned

Live Chat administrators can configure Live Chat to open the ticket window after a chat session is closed. Agents can benefit from this configuration in the following ways: 

  • Perform some follow-up tasks on the ticket immediately, without having to search for the ticket from the monitoring console. 
  • Fill out the missing mandatory fields before closing a ticket.
  • Review the current ticket information before working on the next chat session. 

To learn how ticket creation from Live Chat works, see Ticket-creation-from-live-chat. To learn how to configure ticket creation settings, see Setting-up-ticket-creation-from-Live-Chat

The following image shows the ticket window opened in a new tab after closing the chat session:
