How can I track metrics for child tickets in Zendesk?

To track metrics for child tickets in Zendesk, you can use a specific recipe designed for this purpose. This involves creating a calculated attribute using the default external ID for child tickets created through side conversations.

First, ensure you have Zendesk Explore Professional or Enterprise, and that side conversations are activated in your Zendesk Support. Then, create a new report in Explore, select the Support - Tickets dataset, and use the formulaREGEXP_EXTRACT([Ticket external ID], "^zen:side_conversation:.*:(\d+)$")to create an attribute that identifies the parent ticket ID. This allows you to report on metrics for child tickets, although not for the parent ticket itself. For more details, check theoriginal link.
