Hey Nathalie,
The Perform these actions section is still available but has been changed to Actions as shown in the screenshot below:
You'll just need to use the Status > Open action if you would like for your ticket to re-open once the conditions are met.
Hope that makes sense!
Hi Brett,
Thank you for the reply. I have added the action 'status - open' as you suggested, but the ticket still solves automatically if 'yes close my request' is selected from the suggested answers.
We need it to remain open rather than automatically solve.
Hi Nathalie,
Thanks for the additional information! I reached out to our Answer Bot team and they informed me that you would need to create a trigger that looks for tickets that have been solved without an agent response as well as been tagged during the answer-bot process. They recommended you take a look at this article for more information on tagging answer bot tickets: Best practices: Setting up Answer Bot triggers, views, and workflows
There should be an Agent replies condition you can use to get this trigger working properly.
I hope this helps!
