Question

How do I re-open a closed ticket when the ticket contact replies to it?

Answer

When a ticket is marked completed, you can no longer edit it unless you re-open it. 

Re-opening a ticket can be done in two ways in the UI. 

1. Re-open manually

Navigate to Service Desk > Tickets. Open a completed ticket and hit re-open. 

2. Configure a workflow to do this for you. 

  • Create a new workflow and use or customize the parameters as follows :

  • Activity Added By: Anyone/Clients

  • Conditions tab - Status: "IN" - "Closed or Completed" ( The field used for closure in your Service desk settings)

  • Updates tab - Change status to Open or whatever status you would like the re-opened the ticket to use.

  • Notification - You can specify what queues or who will be receiving this re-open notification via Notifications tab.
