How to Transfer a Support Case to Another Agent or Department

🎯 Purpose:

To ensure smooth handover of a support ticket when a case needs to be handled by another agent, department, or specialist team (e.g., Tech, Payout, Operations, or Founders).


🪜 Step-by-Step Process

🧾 Step 1: Identify the Correct Owner

Decide who the case should go to:

Scenario

Route to

App Bug or Login Issue

Tech Team

Payment not received

Payout/CX

Vendor-related complaint

Operations

Founder review needed

CX Manager or ibrahim.surya@cashkr.com

✍️ Step 2: Add Clear Notes in the Ticket

Before transferring, add a comment in the ticket (CX Genie):

“Transferred to [Team/Person] due to [reason]. Summary: [1-line explanation].”

✅ Keep notes short and professional. Mention all key details:

  • Order ID

  • Issue summary

  • What has been tried already

🔄 Step 3: Change Ticket Assignee

In CX Genie:

  1. Open the ticket

  2. Click Assignee dropdown

  3. Select the new Agent / Department / Email

✅ Status will stay as Open or In Progress — no need to mark resolved.

📩 Step 4: Notify the New Owner (If Urgent)

If the issue is time-sensitive or critical, also:

  • Tag them in internal ticket comment (e.g., @payout-team)

  • Or, send them an email with ticket link

🗃️ Step 5: Confirm Handoff is Complete

Message to customer (if required):

“Your case has been transferred to our [Payments/Tech/Support] team. They’ll assist you shortly.”

✅ Best Practices

✅ Do

❌ Don’t

Always write reason for transfer

Don’t leave ticket with no context

Use internal tagging (e.g., @CX Manager)

Don’t notify blindly without checking workload

Only transfer once

Don’t bounce tickets between teams repeatedly
