You can mark tickets as spam or delete tickets automatically and manually. This way, unwanted tickets don't clutter your agents' ticket list, and your reports are not skewed by them.


To manually mark a ticket as spam or to delete a ticket, click on the respective buttons available above each ticket:



You can also do this using bulk actions by selecting the tickets that you want to delete or mark as spam in the ticket list page and choosing the appropriate action on top:



When you manually mark a ticket as spam, you will be shown an option to block the contact who sent the spam ticket. If you block the contact, the subsequent tickets sent by them will be marked as spam automatically. This contact can be found in the 'Deleted' contacts list as a part of the Contacts page, from where it can be restored if required.



You can also do this automatically by setting up Ticket creation automation rules. For example, you can delete all the auto-replies coming in, or you can mark all tickets coming from a particular contact as spam automatically. To set this up, navigate to Admin > Automations > Ticket Creation > New Rule 



You can see all the tickets in spam and trash at any time by clicking on the corresponding ticket view:



In the spam/trash ticket view, you can perform bulk actions like restoring selected tickets or deleting them forever. You can also empty all your spam or trash in one go by clicking on the link on the right.



A ticket will only be present in the spam or trash view for 30 days, after which Freshdesk will permanently delete it. Before 30 days, you can undelete a ticket or remove it from spam anytime by using the options available within the ticket.


Note:  Tickets marked as Spam are not included in the Reports or Analytics metrics.
