After sending

A ticket is created with the status Waiting for customer and stays assigned to a human agent. The AI won’t take over. When the customer replies, the response appears on the same ticket and it reopens in your inbox as a normal conversation. To set a follow-up reminder, snooze the ticket. It reappears when the snooze period ends or the customer replies, whichever comes first.

One-way notifications

If you don’t expect a reply (for example, a policy update or an informational notice), start the conversation as described above, then close the ticket manually once you’re taken to it. Mention in the email body that no response is needed, so the customer knows not to reply. If the customer does reply, the ticket reopens automatically.
