You can use this to re-opened. -open closed cases when a customer sends a new message within 24 hours for example. For the purpose of this article, we will call this functionality ‘re-opening cases’.

Due to the way Salesforce deals with concurrent record updates, Social25 contains a 1 minute delay during which it ignores incoming messages in relation to this functionality. This means that when a new message comes in within one minute of closing the case, the case will stay closed. This |

A best practice regarding this is to have your agents close the case only when they are sure a customer won’t send an important message that would otherwise re-open the case. |
Confirguration
You can configure from which statuses the case should reopenre-open.
Select any status in the Reopen Case By Incoming Message / Select the statuses from which the case should reopen multi-picklist that should be considered for being assigned a new status
Choose which status the
re-opened case will be assigned in the Select the status that should be used for reopening cases picklist. By default, this will be the default status.
If the status of the closed case is in the list of selected statuses for reopening re-opening the case and the message came in within the specified time range, the case will be reopened re-opened and assigned the configured status for reopened re-opened cases. If the message comes in after the specified amount of days, a new case will be opened. This time range can be configured in the Create new case after x days closed field.
If the status of the case is not in the list of selected statuses for reopening re-opening the case, it is assumed the agent is still working on the case and the message is shown in the chat window.
