Prevent reopening for certain mail content

Technical assistance
1

Hello,

I have a problem with an Zammad-Trigger:

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version: 5.3.1

Zammad-Trigger:

  • State is closed
  • Action is updated
  • From contains example@example.com
  • Subject contains “How was your experience?”

Expected behavior:

  • If the ticket is already closed, it will not be reopened

Actual behavior:

  • Ticket is reopened

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Set Trigger, send mail

Thank you!

You cannot overcome Zammads reopen behavior on tickets unless you choose tickets not being allowed to be reopened at all. See the group settings for that:
https://admin-docs.zammad.org/en/latest/manage/groups/settings.html

If I understand the documentation right, you can prevent the user’s answer from re-opening the ticket but you cannot prevent it from opening a new ticket.

Which means the configuration choices are either

  1. users can re-open the ticket with their answer
    or
  2. users can create a new ticket with their answer, without touching the original
    but there is no
  3. further answers to a ticket are just ignored and cause no action anywhere

Please correct me if I’m wrong, option 3 is the one I am specifically looking for.

I understand the original question is answered in a strict sense as the ticket is indeed not re-opened. But in my opinion the answer triggering a new ticket is a form of re-opening the previous ticket, since it generates a ticket the agent still has to deal with.

That option is not available in Zammadm, correct.
