Custom Ticket Statuses

Create custom ticket statuses to match your unique support workflow.

Default Statuses

Zupport comes with three default ticket statuses:

  • Open — Ticket is active and needs attention
  • Pending — Waiting for customer or external response
  • Closed — Ticket is resolved

Custom Statuses

You can create additional statuses to better represent your workflow. Common examples:

  • In Review — Ticket is being reviewed internally
  • Waiting for Refund — Refund is being processed
  • Escalated — Ticket has been escalated to a senior agent
  • On Hold — Temporarily paused
  • Waiting for Vendor — Awaiting third-party response

Creating Custom Statuses

  1. Go to Settings → Ticket Statuses
  2. Click Create Status
  3. Enter a name and choose a colour
  4. Set the status category (active, pending, or resolved)
  5. Save the status
💡 Tip: Keep your custom statuses focused and avoid creating too many. 5-8 total statuses (including defaults) is usually optimal for most teams.
