What Happens to Closed Tickets in Zendesk?
What happens to tickets after they are closed in Zendesk?
Once tickets are closed in Zendesk, they remain in the closed status for 120 days before being automatically archived. During this time, closed tickets cannot be reopened or modified.
If you need to reference a closed ticket, you can create a follow-up ticket, although it won't include the previous message history. It's important to note that closed tickets do not update automatically with changes in organization data, which can impact reporting.
