Creating a recurring ticket template

·

Recurring templates are created from Admin → Ticket Templates on the Scheduled tab. Open New recurring ticket template to begin.

1. Name and ticket content

Give the template a name and a title template (both required). The title and body support tokens that are substituted at run time:

  • {company_name}
  • {month} and {month_short}
  • {year}
  • {date}
  • {quarter} (for example Q3 2026)

You can also set the board, priority, SLA policy, default agent, ticket type/subtype/item, a time budget, and default watchers. When the SLA or agent is left blank, the board's default is applied.

2. Choose a recurrence

  • Every N days (interval_days)
  • Weekly on chosen weekdays
  • Monthly on a date (clamped to the month's length)
  • Monthly on the Nth weekday (e.g. second Tuesday, or last)
  • Quarterly (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct)
  • Annually

Set advance days to create the ticket ahead of the nominal due date, and a creation hour (0–23, server local time) for the hour slot it should fire in.

3. Set the scope

Pick all, internal, internal single, contract type, or a specific list of companies. A max per run cap (default 50) limits how many tickets a single run creates.

4. Add a checklist (optional)

Checklist rows become ticket tasks on every generated ticket; each row can be marked required.

Save the template, then use the preview to confirm the next three run dates, or Run now to test it immediately.
