Re: [rt-users] Users replying to "resolved" ticket notifications re-opens ticket

Matt Nichols wrote: Hello,   When a ticket is resolved and the user receives an email notification stating that their ticket was resolved the user will often send a reply either saying “thanks” or something to that effect which adds it as a correspondence to the ticket (good) but also sets the ticket from resolved back to ‘open (not good, extra work for us to go close the ticket again since it wasn’t the users intention to open the issue back up with their reply.) Any ideas for a solution to this?   -Matt I found 2 methods : 1) user education 2) further explanation in the resolved template that they need not reply unless there is still something wrong. Both methods together works best of course. I know this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but imagine you would ignore replies to a ticket after it is closed (or create a new one) you would have much more problems cleaning up that mess in contrast to just closing the ticket again this time. You could however maybe adjust some templates and use a CustomValue field (which you set manually) to indicate that there will be no Resolved mail sent to the user (after "thanks"-reply) to avoid having a user loop like : thanks -> resolved -> i thought it was already solved ? -> resolved -> why do you keep resolving -> resolved -> stop it ! (Thrust me I've had this with one client at a time... <g>) So using CustomValue you'd have something like this : thanks -> set CustomValue ID10T -> resolve (silent - no mail) -- Vriendelijke groeten, ^ Bubbles IT ^ Oude Heerweg 175 Niels Huylebroeck ^ 9160 Lokeren, Belgie Systeembeheerder, Programmeur ^ Tel: +32(0)9/355 13 31 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ Fax: +32(0)9/355 13 41 ..
