We send an auto-reply to all incoming customer requests in which we include links to our website on how they can solve some of their questions themselves, like delivery status or details on returns for example.

It would be great if we could include a link with the ticket number as a variable to let customers close their tickets themselves if they have already found a solution by simply clicking a link in our auto-reply. This should work without having to visit the portal.

Ideally, customers should be taken to a customizable page with a success message and also receive a short reply informing them that they successfully closed their ticket.

 

As previously suggested by @ruben.tuitel here:

 

Also, Zendesk is even offering this in combination with suggesting fitting solutions depending on the topic of the request:

Thanks for putting up that idea here! We don't have it in our roadmap currently, but we can surely plan to build it in the future. We will get back to you once we have an update.

This would be a fantastic. Our agents are coached, as a good service practice, to confirm resolution (e.g., “Was I able to resolve your issue?” / “Was I able to answer your question?”) - it would be great to provide a link that is as simple as “If I was able to answer your question, you can close this ticket with one click: [link].” Something like that would be helpful.

Now I see the “Upvote” button for this Idea again, but yesterday it just wasn’t there.

Heyy ​@julia.a   ​@Daniel Söderlund 

This looks like a glitch in the platform. I’ll check with the provider to confirm. Thanks for flagging it. From my side, I was able to upvote without issues.

This is a great suggestion! 
Allowing customers to close their own tickets through a direct link would definitely reduce workload for agents and improve the overall experience. A simple success page plus a confirmation message would make the process smooth and professional. Hopefully, the team considers adding this soon.

I really like this idea. 
Sometimes customers already find the solution before support replies, so giving them a quick way to close the ticket themselves makes perfect sense. It would keep the queue clean and save time for everyone.
