Issues

Issues are durable support records for work that needs follow-up, coordination, or workflow tracking. They can be created directly or linked from a conversation.

Issue Types

TypeUse it for
Linked issueA customer conversation needs durable tracking.
Standalone issueInternal support work, known defects, follow-ups, or tasks that do not start from a conversation.

Issue Detail View

The issue detail view includes:
  • Stable issue reference and persisted issue id.
  • Title, description, customer, account, and email fields.
  • Status, priority, tags, and workflow details.
  • Internal notes.
  • Linked conversation context when available.
  • Active viewer avatars for operators looking at the issue.

Tags

Issue tags render as colored chips. Operators with reply access can add or remove issue tags from the issue detail view. Tags can be managed globally in Settings → Data → Tags. Unknown tag ids are still shown with a neutral fallback so historical records do not disappear.

Internal Notes

Issue notes are stored in the same notes system as conversation notes, with target_type = issue. Operator notes can be deleted by operators; automation notes are kept as provenance.

Saving Behavior

Issue fields save automatically after edits settle. The UI shows saved state so operators know whether the current changes have been persisted.

When To Create an Issue

Create an issue when:
  • A conversation requires follow-up after the chat ends.
  • An API bug or docs gap needs tracking.
  • Multiple operators need visibility.
  • A customer asks for status on a durable support item.
  • An automation routes work into a specific support queue.
