Ticket Checker
Managing a flood of "invite pls" whispers during a raid night or a Mythic+ push can feel like a second job. Ticket Checker is a lightweight World of Warcraft addon that listens for specific keywords in your whispers and automatically sends a group invite, freeing you to focus on the actual game instead of your chat box. Whether you are running a pug raid, organizing a world boss group, or herding guildies into a dungeon, this tool keeps the invites flowing without you lifting a finger.
What Ticket Checker Does
At its core, Ticket Checker is an auto whisper invite addon. When someone whispers you a keyword, the addon instantly invites them to your party or raid. By default, the only active keyword is "invite," but you can build your own custom list to match how your community actually talks. All keywords are case insensitive, so "Invite," "INVITE," and "invite" all trigger the same response. The addon also supports request to join and suggest invite systems, giving you flexibility in how players get into your group.
Custom Keywords and Smart Filters
The real power of Ticket Checker lies in its configuration. You can toggle request to join and suggest invite behavior, restrict auto invites to friends and guildies only, and decide whether the keyword must be the entire whisper or can appear inside a longer sentence. That last option is handy when players write "hey can I get an invite for the raid" rather than just "invite."
- Create unlimited custom keywords, all case insensitive
- Toggle request to join and suggest invite on or off
- Limit invites to friends and guild members
- Choose whether the keyword must stand alone or can be part of a sentence
- Control everything with /tc and /ticketchecker slash commands or a minimap icon
Game Version Compatibility
Ticket Checker is built to work across the major World of Warcraft game versions. That includes modern Retail, Classic Era, The Burning Crusade (TBC), Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK), Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria (MoP). If you hop between a Classic anniversary realm and a Retail character, the addon stays compatible with both, so you do not need to relearn a different tool every time Blizzard spins up a fresh version. Always confirm the addon build matches your current client, since older expansions sometimes use separate interface versions.
How to Install Ticket Checker
Learning how to install Ticket Checker takes only a minute. Close World of Warcraft completely, then place the extracted addon folder inside your Interface/AddOns directory. The folder name must match exactly, so avoid renaming it after extraction. Once you log back in, the addon should appear in your AddOns list on the character select screen. If you prefer a smoother path, the foxygame.net launcher offers one-click install for Ticket Checker and keeps it patched automatically, which saves you from manually re-downloading files every time a new game version drops. From there, type /tc or /ticketchecker in chat to toggle auto inviting, or click the minimap icon for quick access.
A Quick Note on Battle.net Whispers
There is one limitation worth knowing before you rely on this addon for every invite. Battle.net whispers do not work if the person whispering you is hiding offline. This is a Blizzard restriction, not something the addon can fix. If a friend cannot get an invite through Battle.net chat, ask them to appear online, whisper your character directly, or use the request to join option instead. Knowing this upfront prevents a lot of confusion during busy raid nights.
Why Groups Keep Using It
Download Ticket Checker if you are tired of manually typing invites while juggling mechanics, loot, and raid leading. It handles the repetitive whisper traffic so you can stay in the moment. The combination of custom keywords, friend and guild filters, and full version compatibility across Retail, Classic, TBC, WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP makes it a practical pick for anyone who regularly assembles groups. Set your keywords once, toggle it on, and let the invites take care of themselves.
