<p id="docs-ai-summary-content">Explore standard automations to streamline your ticket workflow. Use default settings or customize by editing or cloning them. Key automations include closing tickets four days after being solved, sending pending notifications after 24 hours or five days, and requesting customer satisfaction ratings. Automations help manage ticket status and enhance customer feedback, but note that some automations cannot be disabled.</p>

<p class="p">Zendesk Support provides a standard set of <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408832701850" target="_blank">automations</a> that are best practices in a
typical ticket workflow. </p>
<p class="p">You can use the standard automations as they are or you can <a class="xref" href="https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408883801626#topic_rsh_miv_ub" target="_blank">edit or clone the default
automations</a> as needed. It's better to clone them and make
changes to the copies, just in case you want to go back to the default
conditions. With the exception of the standard ticket closing automation,
you can deactivate any automations you don't need. </p>
<p class="p">If you need to reset your standard automations, you can refer to the screenshots
in this article to help you.</p>

<p class="p">This automation automatically closes a ticket four days after it is set to solved. You can edit
the automation to change the amount of time, up to 28 days, but you cannot disable or delete
this automation. This is to prevent performance issues in your account.</p>
<p class="p">Tickets in solved status, that are not closed by a trigger or automation, are
automatically closed after 28 days, regardless of whether there have been updates to the
ticket in that time frame. </p>
</div>
<p class="p">This automation is an exception to the rule that automations cannot
update a ticket more than 100 times. It will fire even if a ticket
has been updated by automations more than 100 times.</p>
