Short answer

Can my AI reassign FreeScout tickets?

Yes. You can tell your agent to change ticket owners, update statuses, or leave internal notes. This lets you triage your inbox without opening the FreeScout dashboard. You'll see how the agent handles these updates below.

Ticket outcomes.

Where your updates land.

Your agent uses FreeScout tools to move tickets through your workflow.

OWNERSHIP

New ticket owners

The AI shifts a conversation to a different user. This ensures the right person handles the request.

STATUS

Updated ticket states

The AI changes a conversation from open to closed or pending. This keeps your queue organized.

INTERNAL

Private team notes

The AI adds a note to a conversation that only your team sees. This helps you pass context to colleagues.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If you ask for an action the tools don't support, the AI will tell you. You'll need to finish those tasks in FreeScout.
