# Tickets

> Decide which tickets the Support Agent skips, and which agent answers the rest.

Open **Settings**, select **Support Agent** under **Agents**, then **Tickets**.

## Skip Rules

Skip rules run before the agent does, so a skipped ticket costs nothing and never gets a draft. Each rule has its own switch, so you can keep a list without applying it.

* **Skip tickets from these senders**: an address or a whole domain. Enter `@acme.com` (or just `acme.com`) for everything from that domain, or a full address for one person. Use it for internal teammates, no-reply addresses, and partner domains.
* **Skip tickets with these subject lines**: matches a phrase anywhere in the subject. Paste several at once, one per line. Replies that come back as "Re: ..." are caught too, so a campaign blast you want to handle by hand stays out.
* **Skip Slack-sourced tickets**: useful when your Slack tickets route through another system first and you'd rather the agent answered them there.
* **Hide replies from these author IDs**: removes individual messages, not whole tickets, before the agent reads the ticket. Paste the platform's user ID for an automated agent or internal bot.

Press **Enter** or a comma to add an entry, and **Backspace** in an empty field to remove the last one.

## Routing Categories

Once the [public agent](/agents/public-agent) is turned on, **Routing categories** appears below the skip rules. Categories describe the kinds of tickets you get and decide which agent answers each one. See [Routing](/agents/routing).
