Is there a way to auto close a ticket due to submitter inactivity?
We are looking to see if there is a way to create a rule to close a ticket automatically and notify the submitter that the ticket is about to close due to inactivity. Has anyone ever done this?

how long before (if at all) do you want the submitter to be notified via email? - JasonEgg 7 years ago

We are going to notify them that we have not heard from them in 24 hours. If they still do not respond then we want it to close the next day. I think I actually found it pre-built in the appliance. - abratton 7 years ago

Yes, this is possible using a custom rule. The rules wizard will only get you part way there, however, because it doesn't handle date logic very well. I would still start with the wizard but then change the resulting rule to use the correct SQL logic.

Yes. I have a rule setup to change a ticket status to OVERDUE after 7 days, then another that will automatically close it after 7 more days. Shoot me a PM if you want and I'll send you the rule setup.

Would you mind sharing with me the information you provided? I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with my code and want to make sure my date logic is correct. - stoutba 7 years ago
