support.conversation.reopened

A resolved support conversation becomes active again.

Ability to subscribesupport-conversation:view

When this fires

A conversation that was resolved goes back to open. Two paths:

  1. The member writes again. Their inbound message reopens the thread automatically, raising this event alongside support.message.received. This is the usual cause.
  2. A creator reopens it explicitly: from the dashboard inbox, with POST /v1/support/conversations/{id}/reopen, with the reopen_support_conversation MCP tool, or through the Reopen Support Conversation action in Zapier and n8n.

It does not fire when:

  • The member writes into a thread that is already open, pending or snoozed. Only a resolved thread reopens on inbound. A creator reopening a thread by hand fires the event whatever the thread's previous status was, including open.
  • The member is blocked. A blocked contact's message is dropped and cannot push their thread back into the queue.
  • The member edited an older message rather than sending a new one.

The common path here is not a creator reopening a thread by hand; it is a member writing back after you resolved it. If you page an on-call rota on anything in this family, this is the event that catches the "we thought this was done" case.

Caveats

  • On the member-writes-back path this event and support.message.received fire for the same action. If you post to a channel on both, you will post twice; pick one as the trigger and enrich from the API.
  • The payload does not say which path caused the reopen. Compare the newest message's direction over the API if it matters: inbound means the member came back, outbound or no new message means a creator reopened it by hand.
  • first_response_at is not reset by a reopen. It is stamped once, for the first human reply ever in that thread, so SLA reporting across a reopen needs message timestamps rather than that field.

Related events

  • support.conversation.resolved: the state this event reverses.
  • support.message.received: fires alongside on the member-writes-back path.

Header Parameters

SB-Signature*string

t=<unix seconds>,v1=<hex>: the HMAC-SHA256 of "<t>.<raw body>" under the endpoint's secret. Verify it before acting, and refuse a t more than 300 seconds from now. During a secret rotation a v0= signature under the previous secret may precede v1=.

SB-Event-Id*string

The event's ULID, bare. The envelope's id is the same ULID prefixed evt_, so strip the prefix before comparing. Deduplicate on it: a retry carries the same id.

SB-Event-Name*string

The event name, the same as the envelope's type.

Content-Type*string

Always application/json.

User-Agent*string

Always Subscriby-Webhooks/1.0.

Request Body

application/json

The signed JSON envelope posted to your endpoint.

TypeScript Definitions

Use the request body type in TypeScript.

The envelope every event is delivered in.
