How It Works
From Close to Archive — Automatically
Every modmail conversation follows a reliable lifecycle. Here is what happens when a thread is closed.
Conversation is closed
A staff member closes the modmail thread, either manually or via an auto-close trigger.
Data is saved automatically
All messages, timestamps, attachments, and metadata are stored securely in the archive.
History is linked to the user
The archived thread is linked to the user's profile, building a complete conversation history over time.
Reopen anytime
Staff can reopen any archived conversation with a single click. All previous messages are restored instantly.
Kept forever
Archives are stored indefinitely. Whether it is been a day or a year, the conversation is always available.
Automatic Archiving
When a modmail conversation is closed, every message, attachment, and piece of metadata is automatically saved. No manual steps required — just close the thread and the archive handles the rest.

Why Archives Matter
A good archive system does more than store old conversations. It makes your entire support workflow smarter.
Returning User Context
When a user contacts support again, staff instantly see all previous conversations. No need to ask the user to repeat themselves — the full history is right there.
Support Quality Insights
Review past conversations to identify patterns, measure response times, and improve your support processes over time.
Accountability & Evidence
Every conversation is permanently recorded. Use archives for moderation evidence, dispute resolution, or auditing staff performance.
A Returning User
