Search ticket with ticket_id in the rest API | Community
Skip to main content

How can I search a ticket using the ticket_id with the rest API? It looks like we can only search with id, not ticket_id.

Hi ​@lifan  😊 Paul from Support Engineering in Dublin here. 👋

 

You are correct. In the list of accepted fields for the search, 'id' refers to the ticket ID. When you want to search for a specific ticket, you should use the 'id' field with the ticket's unique identifier.

 

The 'id' field must be a string that matches the format of ticket IDs in Intercom.

You can't use the ticket_id when using the endpoint Search tickets POST https://api.intercom.io/tickets/search

You should use ID instead 👍

any way to search with the ticket_id instead of id? Because our customer only knows ticket_id, not the id. 


Any updates?
