      Creating a customer user and a customer company from a ticket

      If a new ticket arrives at OTRS from an e-mail address that was not previously registered in OTRS, the button "Create new customer" appears in the "Customer Information" block in the Ticket Zoom (Figure 3.1).

      Figure 3.1. Button location in the ticket

       

      To create a new customer it is necessary to:

      1. Click on the “Create a new customer” button. This opens the form for creating a customer account (Figure 3.2)


        Figure 3.2. New customer creation form

         

        2. To create a customer, you must fill in the form fields.

          When filling in the “Company ID” field, an existing company may be selected or a new one created. To create a new company, click on the "Create a new company" button (Figure 3.3) and fill in the form fields (step 3). After saving, the new company will be automatically inserted in the "Company ID" field.

          After filling in all the required fields, you must click the “Send” button, and a new customer user will be created.

          After a new customer user is created, it is assigned ticket customer user (Figure 3.5).

          3.2. Adding a customer and customer company on phone ticket form

          In this case, the “Create new customer” button appears in the “Customer Information” block (Figure 3.6).

          When you click on the “Create new customer” button a form for creating a customer account with empty fields, where you should enter the data of a new customer user, is opened. The layout of the form and the composition of the fields is similar to the form described in section 3.1. “Create a customer and customer company from a ticket”.
