$closeTicket

The $closeTicket[] function closes and deletes a ticket (the current channel). It is equivalent to $deleteChannels[$channelID] with check validation.

Syntax

$closeTicket[(errorMessage)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
errorMessage	Optional - Message sent if the command is not executed in a ticket channel. Default: “This channel is not a ticket.”

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Behavior

• Deletes the channel in which the command is executed.
• Designed for use in channels created by $newTicket[].
• If the channel is not a recognized ticket, displays the error message.
• The bot must have MANAGE_CHANNELS permission.

Examples

Simple closure

$closeTicket

Closure with confirmation

$sendMessage[Closing the ticket in 5 seconds...]
$wait[5]
$closeTicket

Closure with logs

$let[logChannel;123456789]
$channelSendMessage[$logChannel;Ticket closed by $username.]
$closeTicket

Conditional closure

$if[$checkContains[$userPerms;Administrator]==true]
  $closeTicket
$else
  $closeTicket[Only administrators and moderators can close this ticket.]
$endif

Closure with backup

$let[transcript;$getChannelMessages[$channelID;100]]
$setUserVar[lastTicketTranscript;$transcript]
$channelSendMessage[$logChannel;Transcript saved. Ticket closed by $username.]
$closeTicket

Notes

• $closeTicket[] deletes the channel — this action is irreversible.
• Save important information before closing (transcripts, logs).
• Custom error messages help prevent accidental closures.
• For a closure without deletion, archive the channel using $modifyChannel[] instead.
