  3. Send a ReceiptPost your receipt when no answer clearly fits and no receipt exists. Keep the ticket open and mark it for a personal reply.
  4. Build the Shift ListFind marked tickets from the closed period at shift start. Leave out cases a support Agent already answered.
  5. Post to Team ChatShare waiting ticket subjects and links in your shift channel. Say clearly when none remain or the list is incomplete.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Send After-Hours Replies:

What if an approved answer fits the ticket?

Your answer workflow handles clear matches. The Agent skips the receipt so the customer does not get another reply from this job.

What do I need to choose before it starts?

You choose your support hours, time zone, shift start, receipt wording, and waiting-ticket tag. You also select your team's chat channel.

How do I avoid sending two acknowledgments?

You can coordinate your help desk's default receipt with this one. The Agent checks for an earlier public receipt before posting.

What if the ticket cannot accept a public reply?

The Agent leaves the ticket open and marked for your support team. It does not claim the customer received an email.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
