Duplicate Ticket Detection

NexlifyDesk features an advanced three-layer duplicate detection system designed to maintain organized support queues and prevent ticket fragmentation:

Detection Layers:
– Exact Subject Matching – Identifies identical subjects from the same user within the last 30 days and automatically adds new messages as replies to existing tickets
– Order Number Pattern Recognition – Recognizes order/invoice number patterns (such as „Order #12345“ or „#ABC123“) and intelligently links related communications to unified conversation threads
– Semantic Content Analysis – Employs advanced cosine similarity algorithms to compare keywords between new and recent tickets from the same user, with configurable 80% similarity threshold and intelligent stopword filtering

User Experience
When duplicate tickets are detected, users receive clear notifications that their message has been added to an existing conversation, maintaining contextual continuity and communication history.

Administrative Control
– Enable or disable duplicate detection in NexlifyDesk > Settings
– Adjust sensitivity thresholds to match your workflow requirements
– Monitor duplicate detection statistics and effectiveness in the reports dashboard
– Configure semantic analysis parameters for optimal accuracy
