This information is to guide Member Associations (using Freshdesk as an Agent), to escalate an EXISTING ticket for the attention of the FCP Support Team. First ascertain that you require the assistant of FCP Support Team, then follow these steps.


1) Assign to FCP Support Team

On the existing Fresh Desk ticket, change the group to FCP Support Team and then select an Agent.






Alternatively, if your support team requires access to viewing the ticket, assign an FCP agent only. Select an agent that has an FCP as a prefix




2) Assign a Priority
