Customer inquiry increases with business growth and so it loads your Ticket List with huge inquiry count, in such case, it becomes impracticable to follow up on the Ticket, on which we haven't heard back from customer/client.
Count of such sort of Ticket increases day by day hence new feature has been added into the productivity section of UVdesk to increase the probability to heard back from customer implementing repetitive Automated Follow Up after a certain interval of time.
Follow Up feature will send the pre-set automated reply to the customer as systematized by the owner or assigned agent.
In order to add Follow Up 1st, you need to create Email Template you want to send to your customer then create Prepared Response using that template.
Note 1: Make sure you have added a note in action while creating a prepared response, it will display on the ticket when follow up has been sent to your customer or you can add whatever action which you want to perform.
Note 2: Follow Up should be added when the last reply by the agent.

For Example:

There is a point mentioned in Note is Follow Up will be visible only when the Last Reply is of the Agent
1st Follow Up should go on the 2nd Day after Agent's reply
2nd Follow Up should go on the 4th Day after Agent's reply
3rd Follow Up should go on 6th Day after Agent's reply
4rth Follow Up should go on 10th Day after Agent's reply which will be considered as 1 Week 3 Dyas = 10 Days
5th Follow Up should go on 15th Day after Agent's reply which will be considered as 2 Week 1 Day = 15 Dyas and so the same to set the follow Up to send after 20 Days, 30 Days (4 Week 2 Days), 40 Days (1 Month 1 Week 3 days), 50 Days (1 Month, 2 Week, 6 Days) after Agent's reply.
