Blueprints in Zoho are powerful tools that help streamline and automate your support processes. Whether you're setting up a new process or modifying an existing one, understanding how to create and configure a blueprint is essential. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up a blueprint in Zoho, addressing common questions and concerns.
To start setting up a blueprint, you need to log in to Zoho with administrator rights. Once logged in, navigate to the contact information icon in the top menu. This will take you to the About Blueprint page, where you can select the contact information next to the blueprint title. Click on the create blueprint option in the upper right corner of the screen.
Here, you will be prompted to enter your blueprint name and contact details. You can also specify when this blueprint should be applied to the ticket. There are two main options:
Additionally, you can enable advanced configuration options like strict mode and continuous blueprint options to further customize your blueprint.
Once you have entered the basic information, the next step is to create the process map using the Blueprint Editor. This involves dragging and dropping the country (ticket status) that forms part of the process map. You can connect nodes in the state to build process streams.
To define the process, click and drag the mouse between nodes in the blueprint state. Add an icon to represent the transition point between the two states. You can do this by clicking the Contact Us button to add a transition. If you need to delete a status or transition, simply right-click on the status or transition line and select Delete.
After creating the process map, you need to add transition settings. Click on the button on the transition line between any two states to add a transition. Enter your transition name, such as "approved ticket," and any optional contact details. If necessary, enable the car transition, which will automate the transition after receiving a customer response or happiness rating.
You can also designate transition conditions, such as transition owners and pre-transition conditions, to ensure that the process flows smoothly and efficiently.
