Our CIO responded to an email created by a ticket he had submitted. It added his responses as public notes rather than replies. Because of this, the automation to close abandoned tickets after 72 hours ended up closing the ticket, despite him replying. I have not seen this behavior before.
He is an occasional agent, not a requester, but when agents respond to email tickets, it correctly adds them as replies.
I found some threads about a similar issue that are 7 years old. Has this been fixed? There is no modifier to “count” public notes. Public notes also don’t resolve the First Response, has to be an actual reply.
