Using {{ticket.url}} Without Active Help Center
Can I use {{ticket.url}} without an active Help Center?
Unfortunately, you can't use the {{ticket.url}} placeholder without an active Help Center. The placeholder is designed to work only when the Help Center is active, as it generates a link for end users to view their tickets. If you don't want to activate your Help Center, consider sending ticket information directly via email using other placeholders.
For example, you can include details like the ticket ID, status, and description in your email notifications. This way, your customers can still receive updates without needing to log in to a Help Center.
