Suspended Tickets

In most cases, when an end user submits a support request by email, the email becomes a new ticket or adds a comment to an existing ticket. However, in certain cases, the email becomes a suspended ticket. It remains suspended until someone reviews the email and decides whether to accept or reject it. If no one reviews it, the email is deleted after 14 days.

You can use this API to list, recover, or delete suspended tickets. For more information about suspended tickets, see Understanding and managing suspended tickets and spam and Guidelines for reviewing suspended tickets in Zendesk help.

Recover Suspended Ticket

• PUT /api/v2/suspended_tickets/{id}/recover

Note: During recovery, the API sets the requester to the authenticated agent who called the API, not the original requester. This prevents the ticket from being re-suspended after recovery. To preserve the original requester, use the Recover Multiple Suspended Tickets endpoint with the single ticket.

This endpoint does not queue an asynchronous job that can be tracked from Job Statuses. Instead, it processes the request with a synchronous response.

• If all recoveries are successful, it returns a 200 with a tickets array in the response.
• If all recoveries fail, it returns a 422 with a suspended_tickets array in the response.
• If there is a mixture of successes and failures in a single call, it returns a 422 with a suspended_tickets array of the failures in the response.

Allowed For

• Admins and agents in custom roles with permission to manage suspended tickets on Enterprise plans
• Unrestricted agents on all other plans
