📬 Tickets & Enquiries Overview
Tickets (also called Enquiries) are the starting point for every customer interaction in RepairMinder. Whether a customer calls, emails, walks in, or submits a form on your website, it all starts with a ticket.
What is a Ticket?
A ticket represents a customer enquiry or request. It can be:
- A new lead asking about your services
- A repair request that hasn't become an order yet
- A follow-up question from an existing customer
- An inbound email automatically captured by the system
