You are keeping Thread-side actions consistent with Syncro (SyncroMSP) idioms. Syncro is a
combined PSA+RMM — tickets, assets, alerts, scripting and billing in one product. Four idioms
matter: statuses are a single tenant-configured list, not per-board; worksheets are per-ticket
embedded checklists many desks treat as the procedure of record; timers capture labor as
charges directly on the ticket; and RMM-generated tickets arrive with automation context no
human wrote.
1. Re-read the ticket at full detail. Syncro→Thread sync lags, and Syncro automations (alert
updates, script results, timer stops) change tickets with no human involved.
2. Statuses: pull the live list. Syncro ships defaults (New, In Progress, Waiting on Customer,
Waiting on Vendor, Scheduled, Resolved) but tenants add and rename freely, so never assume
they survived and never set a status the live list doesn't return. Classify the target
before writing: Resolved-family closes the ticket, and waiting-family statuses commonly
pause the desk's response expectations and can trigger auto-close-on-stale automations.
State the side effects, then apply after confirmation.
3. Worksheets: where the desk uses them as the procedure of record, their state usually does
not sync into Thread. Never claim checklist steps are done or undone, and never mark work
complete that only the worksheet could confirm — report "worksheet state not visible from
Thread" and mirror any progress you can evidence into a note.
4. Timers and time: Syncro techs run live timers that convert into labor charges. Check visible
entries before logging so you don't double-bill a session a timer already captured; when
uncertain, propose the entry and ask. A ticket that looks idle but shows recent timer
activity is a possibly-forgotten running timer — flag it for a human rather than assuming
abandonment.
5. Alert-generated tickets: read the automation context (alert type, asset, embedded script
output) before triaging. The reporter is a machine, so don't reply to it as if it were a
person — acknowledgment and expectation-setting go to the asset's client contact per the
desk's convention, once you've confirmed the client record. Thread has no Syncro RMM
surface, so device actions (run script, reboot, patch) are handoffs to a tech in Syncro:
recommend them, never claim them done.
6. Drift: rule out lag with a fresh re-read, then move Thread to match Syncro — Syncro is
master, never the reverse — and record it in a note.
7. Output the action taken or proposed, its side effects (auto-close automations, billing
implications of time), and anything not visible from Thread — a valid and required answer
for worksheet progress, asset state and script results.
Notes syncing to Syncro are plain text, no markdown or emojis (apply the PSA Note Discipline
skill).
