How to snooze a ticket

Last updated October 7, 2026

Who can use this feature?
Admins and Agents (not Viewers).

Overview

Snoozing a ticket sets it aside until a time you choose. Use it when you are waiting on a customer's reply or on a fix that is still in progress: the ticket leaves your active inbox, so your team can focus on what needs attention now, and you can find it again in the "Snoozed" view.

Key Features

  • Snooze until a chosen time: Pick a preset or choose "Custom time..." to set the exact date and time the ticket should come back.
  • Future dates only: Past dates are greyed out in the calendar, so you can only snooze forward in time.
  • 24-hour time picker: Set the hour and minutes in a 24-hour clock (for example, 23 for 11 PM).
  • Snoozed view: Snoozed tickets are listed in the "Snoozed" view in the left navigation panel. The counter shows how many tickets are waiting there.
  • Keyboard shortcut: Press "T" then "H" to open the snooze option.

How to snooze a ticket

  1. In the inbox, locate the ticket and click "Show More" (ellipsis icon) on the ticket row.
  2. Select "Snooze ticket...". Alternatively, press "T" then "H".
  3. Choose when the ticket should come back. Select a preset, or select "Custom time..." to choose the exact moment.
  4. If you selected "Custom time...", set the date and time:
  • Date: Pick a date on the calendar. Past dates are greyed out.
  • Hour: Click into the hour column and scroll to the hour you need. The picker uses a 24-hour clock, for example 23 for 11 PM.
  • Minutes: Pick the minutes in the minutes column, for example 59.
  1. Click "Confirm". The ticket leaves your active inbox.

Why can't I select some dates?

Past dates are greyed out. You can only snooze a ticket forward in time.

How do I set a time in the afternoon or evening?
