Customer History

Customer History gives your support team instant context when a returning customer opens a new ticket. Scitor automatically posts a collapsed comment showing past interactions, satisfaction scores, and notes.

Enterprise plan required. Customer history is available on the Enterprise plan ($19/month).

How it works

When a new inbound email creates a ticket, Scitor checks if the sender has previous interactions:

  1. Looks up the contact by email hash
  2. If they have prior tickets, builds a context summary
  3. Posts a collapsed <details> comment on the new ticket

The context comment includes:

  • Contact info โ€” name, company, tags
  • Timeline โ€” first seen and last seen dates
  • CSAT score โ€” average satisfaction rating across all tickets
  • Recent tickets โ€” last 5 tickets with issue number, title, status, and date
  • Notes โ€” recent team notes about this customer

Example

When a returning customer opens a new ticket, your team sees:
