Managing support tickets is a core responsibility for Customer Success teams. As the volume of tickets grows, manually tracking and summarizing their status becomes inefficient and error-prone. Automated summary reports make it easy to monitor trends, spot bottlenecks, and communicate the state of customer support to your team. By using Python, you can quickly generate daily or weekly overviews of ticket activity, ensuring that everyone stays informed and can act on the latest information.

# Hardcoded list of support tickets
support_tickets = [
    {"id": 1, "subject": "Login issue", "status": "open"},
    {"id": 2, "subject": "Billing question", "status": "closed"},
    {"id": 3, "subject": "Feature request", "status": "pending"},
    {"id": 4, "subject": "Bug report", "status": "open"},
    {"id": 5, "subject": "Account cancellation", "status": "closed"},
    {"id": 6, "subject": "Payment failure", "status": "open"},
    {"id": 7, "subject": "Password reset", "status": "pending"},
]

# Generate summary by status
summary = {}
for ticket in support_tickets:
    status = ticket["status"]
    if status not in summary:
        summary[status] = 0
    summary[status] += 1

# Print summary
for status, count in summary.items():
    print(f"{status.capitalize()} tickets: {count}")

This code processes a list of support tickets, each represented as a dictionary containing an id, subject, and status. The summary logic works by looping through all tickets and counting how many fall into each status category (such as open, closed, or pending). The summary dictionary stores these counts, making it easy to see at a glance how many tickets are in each state.

You can customize this approach to group tickets by other fields, like priority or assigned agent, or to filter for tickets from a specific customer segment. Adjusting the summary logic lets you tailor reports to your team's workflow and reporting needs.

# Formatting the summary for sharing
lines = ["Support Ticket Summary:"]
for status, count in summary.items():
    lines.append(f"- {status.capitalize()}: {count} ticket(s)")

summary_report = "\n".join(lines)
print(summary_report)
