At SPK, we understand that efficient issue resolution is critical to delivering outstanding customer support.  Our partnership with Appsvio allows us to deliver enhanced escalation and resolution capabilities within Jira Service Management (JSM), revolutionizing how our customers handle urgent issues. Let’s explore how SPK and Appsvio can help your business deliver faster, more efficient services.

Escalating Jira Tickets with Appsvio

Appsvio is a software development company that specializes in creating apps and tools for Jira and Jira Service Management (JSM). It mainly focuses on implementing a self-service model for customers. One of its popular apps is the feature bundle for Jira Service Management. This app allows customers to escalate tickets, bringing immediate attention to high-priority issues. This real-time prioritization ensures that critical tickets are never overlooked. 

The following is an example of ticket escalation in action:

  1. A user creates an issue request to resolve a system crash. 
  2. Once the issue is created, a banner offering to escalate the ticket appears. 
  3. Due to the urgent need to resolve the crash, the user escalates the ticket from Medium to Critical. 
  4. Our support team is then notified of the priority change, and the ticket is automatically routed to a designated escalated queue for urgent issues.
  5. Agents quickly resolve the issue, due to the Critical label.

This structured escalation process has not only sped up issue resolution but also improved transparency for customers. With the feature bundle from Appsvio, users can track their escalated tickets in real-time. This includes viewing updates about the assigned agent, resolution dates, and priority. This visibility builds trust and ensures that customers feel heard and supported. Additionally, the system logs every escalation event, which encourages collaboration between agents and customers, ensuring they are aligned on the issue’s status. Overall, the escalate button allows customers to better communicate and allows agents to focus on what matters most, resolving critical cases. 

Resolving Similar Jira Issues with Appsvio

While the Feature Bundle for Jira helps customers escalate issues, the Issue Merger includes better ways to resolve Jira tickets. Oftentimes, teams have a hard time managing duplicate tickets during widespread issues.  Fortunately, Appsvio’s Issue Merger helps prevent duplicate tickets from overloading the queue. The issue merger allows administrators to set up auto-merge rules to combine tickets related to the same problem when a major incident occurs. This is especially helpful when hundreds of users all report the same bug, such as a system crash.

An example of this would be:

  1. A system crash occurs.
  2. Hundreds of employees report the crash, leading to hundreds of tickets being created.
  3. Due to the auto-merge rule, the tickets combine into one ticket.
  4. The agent resolves the system crash and only has to select done on one ticket.
  5. The agent can then view and work on other tickets, without the need for cleaning out tickets related to the system crash.
