## 💡 Pro Tips
1. **Start Conservative:** Use default settings first, then adjust based on your ticket volume
2. **Monitor Logs:** Watch for "Auto-close enabled" and "Reminders enabled" on startup
3. **Test in Staging:** Test auto-close with a low hour value first (e.g., 1 hour)
4. **Backup data:** Back up MongoDB if migrating or changing schema
5. **Customize Gradually:** Change one setting at a time to see the impact
6. **Use Placeholders:** `{staff_name}` in claim message, `{hours}` in reminder message
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
**Auto-close not working?**
- Check `AUTO_CLOSE_ENABLED=true` in .env
- Verify console shows "Auto-close enabled" on startup
- Check `last_activity` in database is being set
**Reminders not sent?**
- Check `REMINDER_ENABLED=true` in .env
- Verify console shows "Reminders enabled" on startup
- Ensure `last_activity` is older than REMINDER_AFTER_HOURS
**Ticket limit not enforced?**
- Check `GLOBAL_TICKET_LIMIT` is set and > 0
- Verify function `checkTicketLimits()` is being called
- Check logs for "Ticket limit reached" messages
**Colors not changing?**
- Use hex format: `0x00FF00` (not `#00FF00`)
- Restart bot after changing .env
- Check for typos in variable names
**Buttons not customized?**
- Restart bot after .env changes
- Check emoji format (unicode or custom emoji ID)
- Verify button variables start with `BUTTON_`
## 📚 Next Steps
### Immediate (Ready to Use):
1. ✅ Adjust settings in `.env` (repo root) to your preferences
2. ✅ Restart bot with `npm start`
3. ✅ Test each feature
4. ✅ Monitor for a few days
### Short Term (Optional):
5. Display priority emoji in ticket embeds (already set via `/priority`)
6. Add filter by priority in ticket queries
### Medium Term (Future Enhancement):
7. Add email notifications when ticket limits reached
8. Enforce blacklisted roles in all interactions
9. Add statistics dashboard for auto-close/reminder metrics

# New Features Added to Broccolini Bot
## Overview
This document summarizes the new features added to enhance the ticket management system. Run all commands from the repo root; `.env` lives in the repo root (copy from `.env.example`).
## ✅ Features Implemented
### 1. Auto-Close Automation
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
AUTO_CLOSE_ENABLED=true
AUTO_CLOSE_AFTER_HOURS=72
AUTO_CLOSE_MESSAGE=This ticket has been automatically closed due to inactivity.
```
**How it works:**
- Runs every hour (configurable)
- Checks for tickets with no activity for X hours
- Automatically closes inactive tickets
- Sends auto-close message to channel
- Sends close notification email to customer
- Deletes channel after 5 seconds
### 2. Ticket Limits (Global & Per-User)
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
GLOBAL_TICKET_LIMIT=5
TICKET_LIMIT_PER_CATEGORY=3
```
**How it works:**
- Checks ticket count before creating new ticket
- Prevents users from exceeding global limit
- Marks email as read if limit reached (prevents retry loop)
- Logs limit violations
### 3. Additional Permission Controls
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
BLACKLISTED_ROLES=role_id_1,role_id_2
ADDITIONAL_STAFF_ROLES=role_id_3,role_id_4
```
**How it works:**
- `hasBlacklistedRole()` function checks user roles
- Can be integrated into ticket creation or button interactions
- Ready for expansion (e.g., staff-only commands)
### 4. Welcome & Greeting Messages
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
TICKET_WELCOME_MESSAGE=Thank you for contacting Indifferent Broccoli Support! A team member will assist you shortly.
TICKET_CLAIMED_MESSAGE=This ticket has been claimed by {staff_name}.
TICKET_UNCLAIMED_MESSAGE=This ticket is now available for any staff member.
```
**How it works:**
- Welcome message sent when ticket is created (not on reopen)
- Claim message uses `{staff_name}` placeholder (replaced with staff mention)
- Unclaim message sent when ticket is released
### 5. Reminder Messages
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
REMINDER_ENABLED=true
REMINDER_AFTER_HOURS=24
REMINDER_MESSAGE=This ticket has been inactive for {hours} hours. Please provide an update or close the ticket.
```
**How it works:**
- Runs every 30 minutes
- Checks for tickets inactive for X hours
- Sends reminder message to channel
- Marks reminder as sent (won't remind again until new activity)
- Resets reminder flag when ticket has new activity
### 6. Priority Levels
**Status:** ✅ Configured, Ready for UI Implementation
**Configuration:**
```env
PRIORITY_ENABLED=true
DEFAULT_PRIORITY=normal
PRIORITY_HIGH_EMOJI=🔴
PRIORITY_MEDIUM_EMOJI=🟡
PRIORITY_LOW_EMOJI=🟢
```
**Database:**
- Added `priority` field to Ticket model (MongoDB; default: 'normal')
**Helper Functions:**
- `getPriorityEmoji(priority)` - Returns emoji for priority level (low, normal, medium, high)
- `getPriorityColor(priority)` - Returns color for embeds
**Slash command `/priority`:**
- Dropdown: low, normal, medium, high (default: normal)
- When set, channel/thread name is prefixed with the priority emoji
- Add priority display in ticket embed
- Add priority filter in ticket queries
### 7. Button & Embed Customization
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Configuration:**
```env
# Button Labels
BUTTON_LABEL_CLOSE=Close Ticket
BUTTON_LABEL_CLAIM=Claim
BUTTON_LABEL_UNCLAIM=Unclaim
# Button Emojis

EMBED_COLOR_CLOSED=0xFF0000
EMBED_COLOR_CLAIMED=0xFFFF00
EMBED_COLOR_ESCALATED=0xFF6600
EMBED_COLOR_INFO=0x1e2124
```
**How it works:**
- All button labels/emojis now use CONFIG values
- Embed colors configurable per state
- Easy to rebrand by changing .env
### 8. Activity Tracking
**Status:** ✅ Fully Implemented
**Database:**
- Added `last_activity` column to tickets table
- Added `reminder_sent` column to tickets table
**How it works:**
- Tracks last message time in ticket
- Updated when Discord messages sent
- Updated when ticket created
- Used for auto-close and reminder timing
- Resets reminder flag on new activity
## 🟡 Features Partially Implemented
### 9. Modal Forms for Ticket Creation
**Status:** 🟡 Framework Ready, Needs UI Implementation
**What's Ready:**
- Database supports priority field
- Config system supports modal questions (placeholder)
- Button interaction handlers in place
**To Complete:**
1. Add `/ticket-create` slash command that shows modal
2. Create modal with questions:
- Issue description (textarea)
- Game selection (dropdown or text input)
- Priority (dropdown: high/normal/low)
3. Handle modal submission
4. Create ticket from modal data
5. Add modal config to .env:
```env
TICKET_FORM_ENABLED=false
TICKET_FORM_QUESTION_1=What is your issue?
TICKET_FORM_QUESTION_2=Which game server is this related to?
```
**Example Implementation Needed:**
```javascript
// In slash command registration
const ticketCreateCommand = new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('ticket-create')
.setDescription('Create a support ticket');
// In interaction handler
if (interaction.commandName === 'ticket-create') {
const modal = new ModalBuilder()
.setCustomId('create_ticket_modal')
.setTitle('Create Support Ticket')
.addComponents(
new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
new TextInputBuilder()
.setCustomId('issue_description')
.setLabel('Describe your issue')
.setStyle(TextInputStyle.Paragraph)
.setRequired(true)
),
new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
new TextInputBuilder()
.setCustomId('game_name')
.setLabel('Which game?')
.setStyle(TextInputStyle.Short)
)
);
await interaction.showModal(modal);
}
```

2. **Implement priority UI** (slash command or buttons)
3. **Implement modal forms** for Discord-side ticket creation
4. **Migrate to MongoDB** (use existing schemas in models.js)
5. **Add monitoring** for auto-close/reminder jobs
6. **Consider**: Email notifications when limits reached
7. **Consider**: Dashboard role permissions (currently placeholder)
## 💡 Usage Examples
### Setting Custom Messages:
```env
TICKET_WELCOME_MESSAGE=🎮 Welcome to Indifferent Broccoli Support! Our gaming experts will help you shortly.
TICKET_CLAIMED_MESSAGE={staff_name} is now handling your ticket.
```
### Customizing Colors:
```env
EMBED_COLOR_OPEN=0x00FF00 # Green for open tickets
EMBED_COLOR_CLAIMED=0xFFD700 # Gold for claimed tickets
EMBED_COLOR_ESCALATED=0xFF4500 # Orange-red for escalated
```
### Adjusting Timing:
```env
AUTO_CLOSE_AFTER_HOURS=48 # Close after 2 days
REMINDER_AFTER_HOURS=12 # Remind after 12 hours
```
## 🐛 Known Limitations
1. **Modal forms** not yet implemented (needs slash command + modal handler)
2. **Priority** stored but not displayed or settable via UI
3. **Blacklisted roles** checked in helper function but not enforced in all interactions yet
4. **Auto-close** doesn't distinguish between customer and staff activity (both reset timer)
5. **Ticket limits** don't send notification email (just logs and skips)
## 🎉 Summary
**Fully Working:**
- ✅ Auto-close (8/10 complete - works, needs tuning)
- ✅ Ticket limits (9/10 complete - works, could add email notification)
- ✅ Permission controls (7/10 - helper exists, needs integration)
- ✅ Welcome messages (10/10 complete)
- ✅ Reminder messages (10/10 complete)
- ✅ Button/embed customization (10/10 complete)
- ✅ Activity tracking (10/10 complete)
**Needs Completion:**
- 🟡 Priority UI (5/10 - backend ready, needs slash command)
- 🟡 Modal forms (3/10 - framework ready, needs implementation)
**Overall:** ~85% complete, 15% needs UI work

---
## Best Practices
### Tags
- Use descriptive names (e.g., `welcome`, `closing`, `escalation-info`)
- Include variables for personalization
- Keep content concise but helpful
- Review and update regularly
### Priority System
- Set priority early in ticket lifecycle
- Use high priority sparingly
- Review priority regularly
- Consider SLA based on priority
### Panels
- Place in dedicated support channels
- Use clear, welcoming language
- Include instructions
- Monitor for spam/abuse
### Claiming
- Enable auto-unclaim to prevent stale claims
- Set reasonable timeout periods
- Use overwrite cautiously
- Communicate with team about transfers
---
## Troubleshooting
### Commands Not Appearing
- Verify `DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID` is set
- Check bot has application.commands scope
- Wait up to 1 hour for Discord to sync
- Restart bot after .env changes
### Modal Not Showing
- Ensure user has Create Posts permission
- Check for Discord outages
- Verify bot has proper permissions
### Saved Responses Not Working
- Check MongoDB connection and permissions
- Use `/response list` to confirm saved response exists
- Check for errors in saved response content
### Priority Not Updating
- Verify ticket exists in database
- Check PRIORITY_ENABLED is true
- Ensure valid priority value (low/normal/high)
---
## Performance Considerations
### Database
- MongoDB (Mongoose) for all persistent data
- Regular backups recommended
- Run from repo root; `.env` in repo root
### Auto-Checks
- Auto-close: Runs every hour
- Auto-unclaim: Runs every hour
- Reminders: Runs every 30 minutes
- Adjust intervals in code if needed
### Rate Limits
- Channel creation: 50/day per guild
- Channel rename: 2 per 10 minutes per channel ([Discord docs](https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits)). When the limit is reached, the bot skips the rename and posts: *Channel renamed too quickly. Try again \<t:unlock:R\>.*
- Message edits: Be cautious with bulk operations
---
## Future Enhancements
### Planned Features
1. **Statistics Dashboard**: Track ticket metrics
2. **Feedback System**: Collect user ratings
3. **Advanced Automations**: Rule builder UI
4. **Ticket Templates**: Pre-filled forms
5. **SLA Tracking**: Response time monitoring
6. **Multi-language**: Localization support
7. **Web Dashboard**: View tickets in browser
8. **API Endpoints**: External integrations
### Community Requests
- Custom ticket categories per game
- User blacklist system
- Scheduled availability hours
- Ticket assignment rotation
- Knowledge base integration
---

# Broccolini Bot Roadmap & Proposal
Short proposal and possible next steps for the Broccolini Bot ticketing system. Discord + Gmail + MongoDB remain the core; any extension is additive.
---
## Current State
- **Email → Discord:** Gmail poll creates ticket channels/threads; replies sync back to Gmail.
- **Discord-first:** Panels, slash commands, buttons, modals, context menus for full ticket lifecycle (claim, close, escalate, tag, priority, transfer, move, saved responses).
- **MongoDB:** Single data store for tickets, transcripts, tags, close requests, guild settings, and (optional) account info.
- **Automation:** Auto-close, reminders, auto-unclaim, claim timeout; all configurable via `.env`.
- **Security:** HTML escaping in outbound emails; test env workflow; optional healthcheck host binding.
No external ticketing API (e.g. Zammad) is used; the bot is self-contained.
---
## Possible Next Steps
### 1. Read-only API layer
- Expose ticket and metadata via a **read-only** HTTP API (e.g. alongside the bot or a small separate service).
- Endpoints: list/filter tickets, ticket by ID, “my tickets” by Discord ID, tags, guild settings.
- Enables dashboards, mobile tools, or a **Support Cockpit** (bOSScord-style overlay) without changing Discord or bot behavior.
- Optional: use something like Directus on top of MongoDB for instant REST/GraphQL and admin UI.
### 2. Ticket routing & queues
- Derive a **queue** (or routing bucket) per ticket from game detection (`GAME_LIST`), subject/body keywords, and existing tags.
- Store queue on the ticket document; show it in Discord (e.g. in embeds or channel name) and in any future API/UI.
- Enables “Network”, “Billing”, “Mod Help”, “Game X” views without changing how staff use Discord.
### 3. Incident & problem tracking
- **Incident:** one-off “something broke” ticket.
- **Problem:** recurring issue; link multiple incidents, track root cause, workaround, and fix status.
- Optional new commands or buttons to “Link to problem” / “Create problem from ticket” and optional API fields.
### 4. Knowledge base & PM links
- Internal KB (e.g. Wiki.js): link from problems/tickets to articles; optional `/kb search` in Discord.
- PM tool (Plane, Focalboard, Taiga): “Create PM task from ticket” and link ticket ↔ task.
- Broccolini Bot stays the source of truth for tickets; KB and PM are linked data.
### 5. bOSScord / Support Cockpit
- Web (later desktop) client that **reads** from the API and MongoDB.
- Richer views: queues, SLA-style status, “whos viewing this ticket”, virtual display names, links to KB and PM.
- All writes and communication remain in Discord; the client is view/routing only.
### 6. GitHub / GitLab (optional)
- From a problem or PM task: create issue/PR with context.
- Webhooks to update problem/task when issues close or PRs merge.
---
## Principles
- **Discord + Broccolini Bot are canonical.** New features augment, they dont replace, the current flow.
- **API-first for new UIs.** Any dashboard or cockpit consumes a read-only (or narrowly write) API; no direct DB access from frontends.
- **Config and secrets stay in `.env`.** New services get their own env or reuse existing vars where it makes sense.
- **MongoDB remains the primary store.** New collections or fields as needed; no second database unless justified.
---
## No Deadlines
This document is a proposal and idea list. Work can proceed in small steps: e.g. add a read-only ticket API, then add queue derivation, then plug in a simple dashboard or bOSScord.
For a fuller platform vision (bOSScord, queues, incidents/problems, KB, PM), see the parent repos bOSScord proposal if present.
