How Tickets are Automatically Closed in Zendesk
How are tickets automatically closed in Zendesk?
Tickets in Zendesk are automatically closed through a predefined business rule called an automation. By default, a ticket is closed four days after being marked as Solved. If the automation is deactivated, the system will close the ticket 28 days after it is solved, which is a non-changeable system rule.
Administrators can create custom automations to manage how long tickets remain in the Solved state before closing. Once a ticket is Closed, it cannot be reopened, but follow-up requests can be created.
