How to Automatically Handle Tickets and Status Updates with AI

Managing customer support tickets can get messy fast. Agents often spend more time sorting tickets than solving them. That’s where automatic ticket handling and AI-powered status updates make all the difference.

Instead of manually tracking who replied last or whether a response is pending from the customer, the Ticketdesk AI helpdesk system automatically updates the ticket status based on the most recent activity.

Ticket Status

Status Description
Awaiting Agent Reply Customer has replied, and the ticket is waiting for an agent’s response.
Awaiting Customer Reply Agent has replied, and the ticket is waiting for the customer’s response.
AI Response Sent An AI-generated reply has been sent, awaiting customer’s response.
Awaiting AI Response The ticket is queued for an AI-generated reply, which will be sent shortly.
New / Unassigned The ticket is new or has no recent activity assigned.

State and Close Reason

Beyond ticket statuses which needs the reply first to set the status by AI agent, every ticket has a state that defines whether it’s still active or resolved.

  • Open - The ticket is active and requires attention.
  • Closed - The ticket is resolved, completed, or no further action is needed.

This distinction is crucial because it separates ongoing conversations from archived/resolved issues in your helpdesk.

You can also specify a reason, when closing a ticket -

Reason Description
Completed The issue was resolved successfully.
Not planned The ticket doesn’t require action (e.g., feature request won’t be pursued).
Duplicate The ticket is a duplicate of another, already tracked and resolved.
