Can my agent create an internal note instead of replying to the customer in Groove?

Yes. When using the 'create_message' tool, you can specify that the message is an internal note. The agent will then post it privately within the ticket flawlessly, visible only to your team.

How do I update the status of a ticket to 'closed' via chat?

You can use the 'update_ticket_state' tool. Provide the Ticket Number and set the state parameter to 'closed'. Your agent will then organize your inbox by resolving the ticket programmatically flawlessy.

Can I list all support agents to check who is assigned to a ticket through the agent?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_agents' tool. Your agent will retrieve a full list of support staff, allowing you to audit assignments or identify the primary owner of any customer conversation natively.
