Direct Ticket Control in Claude Desktop

The `get_ticket` and `list_tickets` tools pull support threads straight into your local Claude Desktop app. Your agent reads the exact customer issue, checks the priority, and surfaces the details right inside your workspace. You can make changes instantly using `update_ticket` to reassign tasks or modify status codes. This keeps your queue clean without forcing you to click through the web dashboard.

Instant Customer and Agent Lookups

The `get_contact` and `list_contacts` tools retrieve complete BoldDesk profile details for any customer who opens a ticket inside Claude Desktop. Your Claude agent cross-references these customer records instantly to see who you are dealing with. If a ticket needs internal escalation, `list_agents` and `get_agent` find the right support team member. This lets your Claude Desktop setup assign ticket ownership to the correct staff member immediately.

Fast Ticket Replies and Private Notes

The `reply_to_ticket` tool sends public updates directly to your BoldDesk customers from the Claude Desktop prompt. After you review the draft, the command fires off to the support queue instantly. When you need to leave internal context for your engineering team, `add_ticket_note` writes private comments on that specific BoldDesk ticket. This keeps Claude Desktop's customer-facing replies separate from internal debugging notes.
