Collision Detection

Prevent duplicate replies with real-time detection when multiple agents view the same ticket.

What is Collision Detection?

Collision detection prevents the embarrassing situation where two agents reply to the same ticket simultaneously. When another agent is viewing or typing a reply to a ticket you're also viewing, you'll see a real-time indicator.

How It Works

  • When you open a ticket, Zupport checks if another agent is also viewing it
  • A banner appears showing which agent(s) are currently on the ticket
  • If another agent is actively typing, you'll see a typing indicator
  • After an agent sends a reply, the ticket updates in real-time for all viewers

Best Practices

  • If you see another agent is already working on a ticket, move on to the next one
  • Use internal notes to coordinate with the other agent if needed
  • Assign tickets to yourself before replying to signal you're handling it
💡 Note: Collision detection works automatically — no configuration required. It's enabled by default for all workspaces.
