Handling new emails on closed tickets
When a new email arrives in a thread linked to a ticket that you’ve already closed in Notion, you might want to create a new ticket to keep conversations organized.
This prevents new issues from being buried in a completed item. You can set this up easily with a simple Notion Automation.
How to set up the automation
- Create a new automation in your database (e.g. If ticket closed, create new ticket in case of new email).
- Trigger: Select When STATUS is set to COMPLETE.
- Action: Choose Edit property > Thread ID and keep the value field empty.
- Save the automation.
This automation works by clearing the Thread ID when a ticket is closed. As a result, when a new email arrives in that thread, a new ticket will be created instead of updating the closed one.
