Option 1: Flag portal-related issues via Self‑service portal → Portal settings → Move tickets
Use this when:
You want tickets coming through the self-service portal to be routed to a specific status to highlight potential issues that require manual handling.
How to set it up:
Go to Self‑service portal
Open Portal settings
Find Move tickets
Choose the Inbox Status you want these tickets moved to (your “manual follow‑up” status)
Result: Tickets that match this portal routing will automatically land in that status so your team can work them as a queue.
Option 2: Flag failures via Automations → “On error, move ticket to status”
Use this when:
A ticket runs an automation (often running a custom action, like shipping label booking), and the action fails. You want those failures to end up in a specific status for follow-up.
How to set it up:
Result: Any ticket where the automation/custom action fails will be moved into your chosen “manual follow‑up” status.
Which one should I use?
Use Portal settings → Move tickets to flag issues specific to the portal flow.
Use Automation error routing to flag issues caused by automation/custom action failures (e.g., label booking errors).
Tip: Pick one clearly named status (e.g. Manual follow‑up / Needs review / Shipping issue) so the team has a single place to work error cases.
