How to write and provide a good ticket, which will speed up our response time

Staying relaxed is essential to getting through your booking system emergency. 


“This one’s important. We handle a lot of wide-ranging, high-pressure situations here at iPro, and our support team would not be able to handle them without keeping a clear mind and following a systematic approach. When you are calm, it helps your support team stay calm. Win-win.”


When creating the ticket please remember the following golden rules

  1. be descriptive in the subject line, ideally include your site name followed by the description. Client Name: "Description of the problem"
  2. Provide the url of the page where the issue / incident is.
  3. Provide as much information as you can. The more information that is provided the quicker the resolution is likely to be 
    • What are you trying to achieve?
    • What is the issue?
    • What were you expecting to happen?
    • What steps need to be taken to reproduce the issue?
    • Does the issue relate to just one booking/owner/property or many?
    • Have you changed anything recently?
    • If you have an error message what is it?
    • If possible, and if it adds to the explanation add a screenshot.
  4. Is there sufficient information for someone who does not necessarily know your business to understand what you are trying to achieve.
  5. Be polite and courteous, keep the tone, positive and informative, remember we both want the same thing.
  6. Can you replicate the issue? If so please record via loom.com
