Automatically Delete Old Tickets

If you want to automatically delete tickets after a defined period of time has elapsed, go to Admin > Tickets > Escalations.

Let's imagine we want to set up an escalation that automatically deletes tickets that are a year old.

Click the + New Escalation button.

Enter the Title of the escalation.

Set Event to The ticket has been open for : 1 : years

Set If Criteria to Date Created : before : 1 years : ago

Set then Actions to Delete Ticket

Now click Save

The new escalation will appear in the list.

Press the grey tab button to enable it.

Bulk Deletion

If you do need to delete existing tickets in bulk, you can do it using the Deskpro API. This requires basic programming skills in any language that can send requests over HTTP. If you can't do this yourself, please contact support@deskpro.com for a quote on having us do this on your behalf.
