Scheduled Re-opening of Pending tickets

 Sometimes a ticket which is in a "Pending" state will need to be re-opened at a specific time.  For example, if a user leaves on vacation, we may want to put their tickets in "Pending" until they return.  Another example would be a user provisioning or de-provisioning where we cannot complete some tasks until a waiting period is complete.


It would be useful if tickets in a "Pending" state had a "Due Date" field just like "Open" tickets.  Once a "Pending" ticket passed this date/time, an Automation rule would be triggered.  (Users could then set up automation rules to re-open the ticket, automatically follow-up for more information, or whatever they need.)


As a side note, I know you can currently set Automation rules to trigger after a ticket has been in a certain state for a certain time, but many tickets require custom times on them which a catchall rule cannot provide for.

Just checked to see if this idea had already been presented.

Sad to see it’s closed for voting four  years ago.

Is it possible to reconsider?

Hello @niels.adelsten - Yes I can definitely re-open the idea for you to vote. We closed many old ideas before 2022 to manage the forum. I’ll open it now for you and sharing more info for your reference:
