How do I prevent a conversation/ticket re-opening when the reply is a thank you

@bernice Great suggestion, I’d just add one note for @david meakin to be careful to make sure this isn’t just looking for the word thanks in the message because it may close any message a user says “thanks” in a message they do expect a response from so you’d probably want this to match exactly a few key phrases if that’s the full contents of the message to avoid accidentally closing something the user would still be waiting on a reply from.  i.e. “Can you send me more info on that topic? Thanks!”

This might be another interesting case for Fin in a Workflow step where it could detect the sentiment of the message and if it’s just a sign off and thank you then close or if it contains “thanks” but it’s actually still requiring a response. 

Sidenote, as someone who’s worked frontline support and helps create automations now it’s so funny when you have that urge to send the last Thanks note but feel bad that you know it’s going to reopen the conversation LOL, the struggle is real 😂

@david meakin  You are very welcome! Good luck 🙌 (This response was not automated 😂)

Thanks @Nathan Sudds  😁 Sorry about the delay getting back to you here, @david meakin! Once you add the step to Disable customer reply, they will not be able to send a reply in this conversation:

Hope this helps! 

@david meakin So to prevent email conversations from reopening, you can adjust this setting in Intercom:

• Navigate to Settings > Email > Other settings and toggle on "Create new conversations when customers reply to closed conversations”.

@david meakin fixed the above for you! Hope this helps 👍
