Changing ticket stuff with out clients' notifications

[Alexey]

Is there a way to edit / change tickets as an admin w/o letting customer know?

For example: i've created a new Workflow and need to migrate all existing tickets with statuses "pending" and "waiting for answer" to "under investigation" and later on set a resolution to all of them.

Or another example, client or agent made a typo, and before escalating issue to dev team i want to edit it, but not bother client with notification.

I know that with Advanced issue search i can pinpoint them and then move to certain status and trigger 'post-function' to set resolution and while doing all that, i can 'un-tick' checkbox for email notification for that bulk action. (hopefully client wont get updates with hundred emails)

Any other way to update fields / statuses / issue views without bothering customer with emails?

Hello Alexey,

Thanks for reaching out to Community!

Testing on my local site, I can confirm that, if the option "Send mail for this update" is not marked, customers won't receive updates about that change. That option works for both customer and agent notifications.

You can also disable the "Customer-visible status changed" and "Request resolved" on Customer notifications if you want to make sure no notifications will be sent. 

Or another example, client or agent made a typo, and before escalating issue to dev team i want to edit it, but not bother client with notification.

Depending on what you will edit, the customer won't receive a notification, for example, a custom field value. 

If you have any other questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

Regards,
Angélica

TBH I’m not sure if changes resulting from workflow will notify users at all as I don’t thing the general event is fired which would drive the notifications. With that said, to be safe you can simply temporarily change the notifications for customers disabling all notifications just before changing the workflow and the reenabling once done.
