Open the ticket > Change status from Closed/Resolved back to Open
.
By customers:
When a customer replies to a Closed or Resolved ticket via email, the ticket automatically re-opens.
What happens on re-open:
Ticket status changes to Open
SLA timer may restart (depending on your SLA configuration).
Assigned agent is notified
Activity is logged in ticket history
Tip: If you want to prevent customers from re-opening very old tickets, consider setting up an auto-response rule explaining they should create a new ticket instead.
