Automatic ping pong issue status

Marco Rossi_kmn8ph

Good morning,

I would like to automatize the issue status, in the way that, when the service desk team write as comment and he share those comment with the customer, the issue status automatically change to "waiting for customer. On the other side when the customer reply to the email, the status will automatically change to "waiting for support". In those changing the SLA will stop and restart the counting, depending in which status is. If "waiting for customer" will stop. if "waiting for support" will start.

 

If need some plugin please advise me.

 

Thank you.

 

Marco

Hi @Marco Rossi and welcome to the Community!

This is a fairly straightforward automation that you can do with out of the box automation rules.

This example from the automation template library illustrates how you can set up the transition from Waiting for Customer to Waiting for Support.

The rule uses a user condition, as you can see here:

You can change this to User > is not a customer to determine if a comment was added by an agent instead to automate the opposite transition.

Hope this helps!
