How It Works

1

User Emails Support

Users send their IT issue to ticket@findmeat.online. The system automatically picks it up and creates a ticket.

Tech Reviews on Dashboard

All tickets appear on the dashboard with status tags: PENDING → IN PROGRESS → RESOLVED → CLOSED.

Resolve & Email Back

Tech adds resolution notes, clicks "Resolve & Email". The system sends an email asking the user to reply OK or Cleared to confirm.

Auto-Closed on Reply

When the user replies with OK, Cleared, Fixed, or Thanks, the ticket auto-closes. No manual follow-up needed.

Quick Help

How do users create a ticket?

They email ticket@findmeat.online with their issue. The system reads it via IMAP and inserts a new ticket automatically.

Where do techs manage tickets?

On the dashboard. All tickets listed with status, email, subject, and message. Techs can add notes and click "Resolve & Email".

How does auto-close work?

After a resolution email is sent, if the user replies with "ok", "cleared", "fixed", or "thanks", the cron job (fetch_emails.php every 1 min) detects it and marks the ticket closed.
