HubSpot is a CRM with omnichannel features, that supports companies to centralize within its environment, all business areas of their company, and interactions that their customers and prospects make within it.

What are HubSpot Tickets and, why are they used?

Tickets are all those requests, queries, complaints, or procedures that a customer or a lead makes to your company. Their characteristics depend on the type of industry of your company. The tickets in HubSpot fulfill these functions and, their purpose is basically to manage this set of queries and requests made by the customer or a lead to your company.

HubSpot has a service request flow channel or "service pipeline" through which all the tickets your company receives are centralized.

The tickets will have the contact information of the customer or lead that made them. Once they are in the service pipeline, they will follow through stages and control rules that the company defines.

These stages and rules can be modified, within the tickets configuration, to create stage limits that help the process and control the service executive's handling of the tickets.

Ticket Entry Channels within HubSpot
There are many ways in which tickets arrive within HubSpot that feed the service process to your team. The channels are as follows:

• Forms: When creating forms, HubSpot allows you to add properties of different nature. Regarding the information you want the lead or customer to fill out. So this tool can be adapted for service teams and, once the person fills out their data, there is automatically an automated process that generates tickets.
  
  
• Emails: Every time they enter emails to your company's inbox, HubSpot allows you to define the users to whom you will assign the conversation and indicate whether it corresponds to a ticket or not. 
  
  
• Chatbots: HubSpot has several types of chatbots models, many of which have ticket generation attributes in their programming.
  

• Ticket Pipeline: Additionally, HubSpot allows users within your organization with the appropriate permissions and service access to create and manage tickets. It is important to note that tickets can work, not only for customers but also within your own company.
