Sonar's ticketing tools help ISPs automate customer service by turning every support email into a routed ticket, sending it to the right team, and keeping subscribers informed with self-service and proactive updates. The result is faster response times and fewer inbound calls without added overhead.

For ISPs, customer support is all about balance: keeping teams efficient while making sure customers feel heard. That's where Sonar's ticketing features step in, giving your support staff the structure they need, while helping customers get fast, reliable answers.

Here's how Sonar makes the support process easier for everyone:

Turn Every Support Email Into a Ticket

No more digging through inboxes or worrying about lost messages. With Inbound Domains, Sonar automatically routes incoming tickets based on the email address they're sent to, and your team can further organize them by category, user, and more.

Get started with ticketing

Route Tickets to the Right Support Team

When a ticket comes in, it shouldn't bounce around between departments. Sonar uses Ticket Groups and Ticket Categories to send tickets directly where they belong, whether it's billing, technical, or general support.

Faster Replies With Canned Responses

Some questions come up again and again, like billing dates or password resets. With Canned Replies, your team can answer in seconds using predefined, consistent responses. That means less typing for staff, and quicker, clearer answers for customers.

Give Subscribers Self-Service With the Customer Portal

Sometimes customers just want to check in on their own. Sonar's pre-built, self-hosted Customer Portal makes it easy for them to:

Submit new support tickets

View their ticket history

Check the status of open requests

It's a simple way to cut down on inbound calls and give customers visibility at every step.

Automatic Updates Keep Everyone in the Loop

Customers don't like to be left wondering what's happening with their request. In Sonar, you can set up auto-replies that immediately acknowledge a ticket and set expectations, while due dates ensure tickets stay on track so nothing gets missed.

For proactive outreach, you can also configure Triggered Messages. These go beyond ticket replies, automatically notifying customers via email or SMS about upcoming due dates, expiring credit cards, and more.

Scaling Support Without Losing the Human Touch

Great support is about more than just solving problems, it's about trust, clarity, and being easy to reach. Sonar's ticketing system helps ISPs organize their support process, speed up response times, and keep customers informed, all without adding extra overhead.

Because when your support team feels confident and efficient, your customers notice.

Questions, answered.

How can an ISP turn support emails into tickets automatically?

Sonar's Inbound Domains feature automatically converts incoming support emails into tickets. It also routes each ticket based on the address it was sent to, so messages reach the correct queue without manual sorting.

How does Sonar route support tickets to the right team?

Ticket Groups and Ticket Categories direct each ticket to the right team, whether billing, technical, or general support. This keeps requests from landing in the wrong queue and helps the right staff respond.

Can subscribers submit and track their own support tickets in Sonar?

Yes. Sonar includes a pre-built, self-hosted Customer Portal where subscribers can submit tickets, view ticket history, and check the status of open requests, which helps reduce inbound calls.

How does Sonar help support staff respond faster and avoid missed tickets?

Canned Replies let support staff answer recurring questions like billing dates and password resets with consistent, predefined responses. Auto-replies and due dates keep tickets acknowledged and on track so nothing gets missed.
