Auto assist keeps looping on solved tickets

Auto assist keeps proposing steps on tickets that are finished. Usually the scope, occasionally the procedure.

Symptoms

  • Steps are proposed on tickets already solved.
  • The same step is proposed again after the agent completed it.
  • A procedure restarts when the customer replies to say thank you.

One: the scope includes solved tickets

Check the tag or condition that scopes auto assist. If it matches on subject alone, it keeps matching after the work is done.

Add a status condition so the scope covers open work only.

Two: the procedure has no end

A procedure that describes the steps but never says when the case is complete has no stopping point. Add a final step: what is the state in which this is finished.

This is the most common cause after scope, and it is invisible when reading the procedure because a person infers the ending.

Three: a reply reopens the case

A customer answering "thanks, that worked" is a new message, and to a procedure that is another turn to handle. Say explicitly what to do with an acknowledgement.

Four: two procedures overlap

One completes and another picks the ticket up, so the agent sees a fresh set of steps. Look for two procedures whose "when it applies" both match, and sharpen one.

The quickest diagnosis

Open a looping ticket and look at which procedure is proposing. If it is the one you expect, the fault is its ending; if it is another, you have an overlap.

If it persists

Send pluscloud support two ticket numbers showing the loop and the name of the procedure involved.
