Avoiding agent collision when adding ticket tags
To avoid collision issues, when two agents update ticket tags at the same time in a ticket, the updates are merged and all tags are included, regardless of who saved the ticket first.
Avoiding agent collision when using auto assist
When auto assist is activated on an account, auto assist can provide one suggestion for a given ticket that is visible to all agents currently on the ticket. For example, if one agent approves an auto assist suggestion, other agents will see that suggestion sent in the ticket conversation and auto assist will go into a “waiting for a reply state.”
