Stop wasting valuable agent time on "Thank You" tickets! You know those "thank you" messages customers send after a ticket is solved? As nice as they may be, they reopen your Zendesk tickets, waste your agents’ time and skew your reporting! They create queues and hurt your team's performance. Simple automated rules don’t take into account the context and risk closing tickets that still need agent attention. There's no built-in Zendesk solution to identify whether a reply requires further action. All of this means support managers need a solution. Introducing the Thank You app If a previously solved ticket is reopened by a "thank you" message without any additional request, the Thank You app resolves the ticket before it returns to the agents’ queue.
