Automated closing of tickets after customer confirmation

Purpose

1.1. Automate the process of closing service tickets in computer repair workflows after explicit customer confirmation, thus ensuring efficiency, consistency, auditability, and minimizing manual interventions or delays.
1.2. Automates post-repair follow-up, verifies customer satisfaction or issue resolution, triggers ticket closure, and updates system logs for compliance and customer support performance metrics.
1.3. Delivers automated, multi-channel notifications to customers (SMS, email, app, IVR, chat), collects confirmation responses, acts autonomously on positive feedback, and logs resolution summaries for transparency and future analytics.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automatedly triggers when a technician marks repair as complete and notification is sent to the customer.
2.2. Activates upon customer confirming ‘issue resolved’ via preferred channel (email reply, SMS code, web link, button press, phone IVR, or chat response).
2.3. Automates ticket closure only if confirmation meets predefined criteria (exact wording, flagged keywords, button toggle, authenticated response).
2.4. Automation runs on a time-out sequence; auto-reminder or escalation if no customer confirmation received within pre-set window (e.g., 24 hours).
