Reply draft AI tasks

Pre-generate safe reply drafts and use them in OTOBO.

Reply draft AI tasks

A reply draft task pre-generates a subject and body when the newest ticket article is from the customer. Runtime stores the draft in DynamicFields only. It does not send a reply or create a customer-visible article.

Create a task

  1. Open AI Tasks.
  2. Click Add reply draft task.
  3. Enter a name and a clear Drafting instruction.
  4. Select the LLM.
  5. Optional: enter approved FAQ text. This text is added directly to the local prompt.
  6. If needed, set state and queue filters, require an assigned ticket owner, and limit the tickets processed per Runtime tick.
  7. Save and activate the task.

Runtime processes a ticket only when the newest article is customer-authored and the stored draft for that article is missing or stale. If Require an assigned ticket owner is enabled, unassigned tickets are skipped.

Result in the ticket

The OTAI widget shows one of these states:

StateMeaning
ReadyThe subject and body are complete enough for agent review.
PartialThe draft contains useful content but needs additions or placeholder values.
SkippedA safe reply was not possible. The widget shows the internal reason.

For Ready and Partial, Use draft opens the native OTOBO action with the subject and body prefilled. Review and edit both before sending. Long drafts are transferred by form submission so the body is not truncated by URL length limits.

Safety boundary

Runtime never sends automatically as the ticket owner. The signed-in agent sends from the native OTOBO screen, so that agent’s permissions, signature, and send confirmation apply.
