Ticket Routing
The process of directing incoming support tickets to the right agent or queue.
Definition
Ticket routing assigns incoming tickets to the appropriate team member or queue based on rules: keyword matching, customer segment, ticket channel, or product type. Good routing reduces handle time and improves FCR.
Why It Matters for Shopify Brands
Poor routing — tickets sitting in a general queue or going to the wrong agent — increases response time and frustrates customers. Well-configured routing is a force multiplier for small ops teams.
Benchmarks
Automated routing (vs. manual assignment) reduces ticket assignment time from minutes to seconds and improves first-contact resolution by 10–15%.
