Ticket statuses and what they mean

Every ticket has a status that tells your team where it stands at a glance. You can name statuses to fit your own workflow, and each one rolls up to a standard category so reporting and automation stay consistent.

The standard categories

CategoryWhat it means
New / OpenNeeds your team’s attention.
PendingWaiting on the customer to reply or take an action.
On holdParked for now — set aside without being resolved.
SolvedResolved. If the customer writes back, the ticket reopens so nothing gets lost.
ClosedFinished and wrapped up.

You can define your own status labels — such as Waiting on engineering or Escalated — and map each to one of these categories. Your custom label shows on the ticket; the category keeps everything else in sync.

Tickets held for review

A small number of tickets are held for review — set aside automatically when a message looks like spam or doesn’t pass a safety check — so they don’t clutter your team’s queue. Held tickets aren’t lost: you can review and restore any of them at any time.
