Best Practices for Rules

In this section, you'll find use cases for different kinds of Rules that you can replicate and customize for your business. We recommend using a clear naming convention (for example, a prefix telling you whether the Rule is an [Auto-Close] or [Auto-Reply] one, etc.).

Key Practices
  • Auto-tag tickets
  • Auto-close tickets
  • Auto-reply to tickets
  • Snoozing tickets
  • Delay action using Ticket Snooze Delay Ends trigger
  • Set Ticket Fields automatically
  • OOO un-assignment Rule
  • Add ticket ID to the subject

Rules trigger in order from first to last, and tickets that were replied to using a Rule will count as billable tickets - the same as tickets replied to by an agent.
