How can I prevent follow-ups from being created?

Answer

You cannot prevent follow-ups from being created, but you can close them immediately. You can create a trigger to automatically close tickets created for follow-ups using the following trigger configuration. 

To add a trigger to close tickets created by follow-ups

1. In Admin Center, click Objects and rules in the sidebar, then select Business rules > Triggers
2. Click Add trigger
3. Enter a trigger Name

4. Optionally, specify a Description and Category. Under Meet ALL of the following conditions, select the following:

   Ticket: Ticket > Is > Created
   Ticket: Channel > Is > Closed ticket

5. Under Actions, click Add action

6. Select the following:

   Ticket: Status > Closed

7. Include any other conditions or actions based on your workflow needs (see Trigger conditions and actions reference)
8. Click Create trigger
