How to archive old user tickets and notify users that they need to open a fresh ticket instead of writing to old one

Last modified:


This task could be accomplished in two steps.

1st step -  we need to setup helpdesk automation rule to archive tickets older that selected period of time for example 30 days.

Open Helpdesk->Topic types and click edit icon to add a new ticket status.

After activation of this rule all tickets older that 30 days will be archived.

2nd step

And create following rule.

With that rule UserEcho will notify users that they should create a new ticket if current one is older that 30 days.
