$closeTicket
This helper is incomplete. The compiler emits an updateChannel action with archived: true and locked: true for the current channel. These are thread settings, not text-channel deletion.
Syntax
$closeTicket[(errorMessage)]The optional argument is passed as errorMessage. It is not an authorization check and does not prevent a caller from closing a ticket. The current channel executor does not implement a complete ticket-marker validation for this helper.
Do not rely on it to delete a channel created by $newTicket, validate a ticket or enforce staff permissions. In particular, placing $closeTicket[Only moderators can close this ticket] in a denied branch is not a permission guard.
For an explicit close action, validate the caller and compare the target ID with stored ticket data, then use removeChannel. Save any required transcript first. Send the interaction response before deleting its channel.
See the complete guide: Support Ticket System Guide.
Examples
Recommended Modern Pattern vs Legacy Helper
;; For production private tickets, delete the channel explicitly:
$title[Support Ticket Closed 🔒]
$description[Ticket closed by <@$authorID>. This channel will be removed.]
$color[#DA373C]
$sendMessage[]
$deleteChannels[$channelID]
