Save, Send and Discard Ticket Drafts
Drafts are unsent replies that are saved and waiting to be sent. When you compose a response, Zoho Desk will automatically save your work every 2 minutes. It is to ensure that you do not lose any composed/half-composed and unsent responses. You can also choose to save messages as drafts that can be completed and sent later.
To save a response as draft:
- Open a ticket to view its details.
- Click Reply All or Forward to open the editor.
- Compose a reply for the ticket.
- Click Save Draft in the ticket's header.
A draft for the ticket is saved. It is now safe to leave the ticket so that you can come back for it later. You will also see a time stamp of the last saved draft, like Saved @ 3:17 PM.
The next time you access the ticket, you can choose to either edit, discard or send the drafted response.
To send a draft response:
- Open a ticket to view its details.
- Click the Send Draft icon (
) at the top of the editor.
The draft response will be sent.
You can click the Edit Draft icon ( 
) to continue from where you left or click the Discard Draft icon ( 
) to delete the draft.
