You can create a ticket for any incoming conversations in your inbox to better manage your contact's experience with your company. When responding to conversations in the inbox, you can view and manage the associated ticket's details as you follow-up with the contact or update the ticket status. In the right sidebar, use the contextual information about the associated ticket, contact, and past conversations to inform your response to the contact's inquiry.

Please note: you can only associate one ticket per conversation and cannot dissociate a ticket from a conversation.

  • In your HubSpot account, navigate to CRM > Inbox.
  • In the left panel, click a conversation to open it.
  • In the right sidebar, click to expand the Ticket section.

  • To edit the ticket property values, click the property and enter a new value.

Please note: if you change the owner of a conversation, the owner of the ticket also updates. However, if you change the owner of a ticket, the owner of an associated conversation is not updated.

  • To view additional ticket information, click View more on the ticket card.
  • In the panel that opens on the right, click Edit the shown properties to customize the properties that display in the Ticket details panel. You cannot edit the properties that display on the associated ticket cards in the inbox.

  • To reopen a closed ticket, click the Ticket Status dropdown menu and select another status. If the ticket is associated with only one conversation, that conversation will also be reopened. If the ticket is associated with multiple conversations, none of the conversations will be reopened.
  • If you want to close the conversation but leave the ticket open, click the More dropdown menu and select Close conversation. This will close only the selected conversation. The associated ticket and any of the ticket's other associated conversation threads will remain open.
