Ticket statuses help teams track:

  • unresolved issues

  • active support requests

  • pending follow-ups

  • completed conversations

Clear statuses improve visibility across both AI and human support workflows.

Open the Tickets section

To manage ticket statuses:

  1. Open your AI Agent workspace

  2. Go to Tickets

Inside the Tickets section, statuses are used across both:

  • Kanban View

  • Table View

Understand ticket statuses

Statuses help define the current stage of a support request.

Common statuses may include:

  • Open

  • In Progress

  • Pending

  • Resolved

Each status represents a different stage in the customer support workflow.

Open status

The Open status is commonly used for:

  • new customer requests

  • unreviewed conversations

  • newly created tickets

These tickets usually require initial review or assignment.

In Progress status

The In Progress status is used when:

  • a teammate is actively working on the issue

  • support investigation is ongoing

  • the customer is currently being assisted

This helps teams identify active workflows quickly.

Pending status

The Pending status is commonly used when:

  • waiting for customer replies

  • waiting for internal review

  • external action is required

Pending tickets help teams track unresolved workflows without closing the issue.

Resolved status

The Resolved status is used for completed support requests.

This usually means:

  • the issue was solved

  • the customer request was completed

  • no additional action is currently needed

Resolved tickets help maintain organized support history.

Update ticket statuses

To update a ticket status:

  1. Open the ticket

  2. Select the status field

  3. Choose the new status

  4. Save your changes

In Kanban view, tickets may also be moved between columns directly.

Use statuses consistently

Consistent status usage helps:

  • improve workflow visibility

  • organize support operations

  • reduce confusion

  • improve reporting accuracy

This becomes especially important as support volume grows.

Combine statuses with priorities and assignments

Statuses work best when combined with:

  • ticket priorities

  • assignees

  • categories

  • Human Handoff workflows

Together, these systems create a more organized support operation.

Best practices for ticket statuses

For cleaner support workflows:

  • avoid leaving tickets without statuses

  • update statuses regularly

  • resolve outdated tickets

  • define clear team workflows

Well-maintained ticket workflows usually improve operational efficiency significantly.

PRO TIP:
Keep your status system simple. Smaller and clearer workflows are usually easier for teams to maintain consistently.
