What should a support ticket response include?

What you know, what you are doing about it, and when the person will hear from you next. The third one is what stops a follow-up ticket. The templates below are grouped by ticket type, and each leaves the timing as a field so it never ships with a stale promise in it.

Type three characters instead of pasting

Every template above can be a snippet with its own abbreviation. Type it in Gmail, Slack, Zendesk, Salesforce or any other text field and the full text replaces it. Fill-in fields stop and ask for the name, the number or the date before the text lands, so a template stops reading like one. Browse every template.

An acknowledgement of the specific problem rather than a generic greeting, what you are doing next, and when the person will hear from you again.

Most repeat tickets are caused by the third item missing.

Give each update type an abbreviation everyone shares.

The structure stays the same across whoever is on call, which is what makes a status page readable, and the fields that change are asked for rather than assumed.

Yes. Expansion happens in the text field, so the same snippet works in a Jira comment, a Zendesk macro box, a Slack thread or an email without setting it up separately in each.
