Follow-Up Ticket Feature for Previously Closed Tickets

Understand how the follow-up ticket feature in Zendesk applies to tickets closed before the setting is enabled.

Will the follow-up ticket feature apply to tickets closed before the setting is enabled?

Yes, the follow-up ticket feature will apply to tickets that were closed before the setting is enabled.

If a customer replies to a closed ticket, it will automatically create a follow-up ticket that reverts to the prior group and assignee, provided the setting to copy the original group and assignee is turned on. This ensures continuity in ticket management even for previously closed tickets.
