Ticket lifecycle & statuses

Open, pending, resolved, closed — and how tickets move between them.

Ticket lifecycle & statuses

Every ticket moves through a predictable lifecycle so nothing falls through the cracks.

Statuses

  • Open — needs attention from your team.
  • Pending — waiting on the customer's reply.
  • Resolved — answered; awaiting confirmation or auto-close.
  • Closed — finished. Reopens automatically if the customer replies.

Automatic transitions

  • A new message from a customer reopens a resolved/closed ticket.
  • Resolved tickets auto-close after a configurable number of days (auto_close_stale_days).
  • Follow-ups can be sent automatically after a period of customer silence (followup_after_hours).

Priority & tags

Set priority (low → urgent) to drive SLAs and sorting. Tags add a flexible second axis for reporting and automation.
