Reply to ticket
Send a reply to the customer from the ticket, with the send status you choose.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/edesk/tickets/{ticket_id}/replies
write Confirm
Types a reply in the Reply box of the ticket and clicks Send. The customer gets it on the channel the ticket came from, for example the marketplace messaging or email. send_status is the status the ticket takes after sending: to_do, waiting or resolved. Without it eDesk applies your user setting, and a customer reply reopens a resolved ticket. The tool sends plain text and does not fill snippets, so write the final text. Cotlet has no tool to unsend a message. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ticket_id integer required | integer | Ticket ID from list_tickets, the number eDesk shows as Ticket ID. |
| body string required | string | Reply text, sent to the customer. |
| send_status enum | enum | to_do, waiting or resolved. Default: your eDesk send status setting. |
