How do I prioritize Black Friday support tickets?

As a growing e-commerce business preparing for Black Friday, I'm struggling to manage the inevitable surge of customer support tickets efficiently. With limited staff and potentially thousands of inquiries, I need a strategic approach to prioritize and handle support requests without overwhelming my team or compromising customer satisfaction. How can I create a systematic method to triage and respond to support tickets during this high-stress period?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Prioritize Black Friday support tickets by impact: shipping failures and wrong items first (direct loss), payment issues second, general questions last. Use ticket tagging to auto-sort by issue type.

Prioritizing Black Friday Support Tickets

When tickets pile up faster than you can respond, triage by impact. A missing package complaint needs immediate action; a product question can wait an hour.

PriorityIssue TypeTarget Response
P1 - CriticalPayment failure, duplicate charge, fraud complaintWithin 30 minutes
P2 - HighLost package, wrong item, damaged goodsWithin 2 hours
P3 - MediumDelayed shipment, discount code not workingWithin 4 hours
P4 - LowProduct questions, general inquiries, feedbackWithin 8 hours

Ticket Triage Setup

In Gorgias, Zendesk, or Freshdesk: create tags for each priority level and set up auto-tagging rules based on keywords ("lost", "wrong item", "refund", "damaged"). This routes P1/P2 tickets to the top of the queue automatically.
