Deleting a Ticket Reply or Note Message
The ticket messages can be deleted by both agents and customers based on the permissions. This option helps to remove any sensitive informations, or any credentials wrongly shared in the ticket.
Considerations before deleting a message
- The email notification which is sent cannot be reverted, and no email notification will be sent to the ticket participants for deleting actions.
- The attachments and inline images will be deleted when a message is deleted.
- In a ticket, at least one public reply should exist regardless of the first reply and others.
- Satisfaction rating message cannot be deleted.
Whenever you delete a ticket message, private or public, it will leave a standard message: “This message was deleted by 'Event performer.”
