In our [last tip](https://www.screensteps.com/articles/build-a-documentation-to-do-list-in-zendesk) we talked about how to set up a documentation to-do list in Zendesk. That involved adding a custom field as well as a custom view. But there is one more step. When we mark a ticket as Solved we want the Needs Documentation value to be set to No. We can do that by editing one of our automations. 

Go to **Settings > Automations**

![go-to-settings--gt--automations](https://www.screensteps.com/hs-fs/hub/120141/file-951066612-png/go-to-settings--gt--automations.png?width=439&name=go-to-settings--gt--automations.png)

 

**Edit your close ticket automation**

This may have a slightly different name depending on your Zendesk setup. But you want to find the automation that sets your tickets to **Closed** and edit it.

**Add an action**

Add an action that sets the **Needs Documentation** value to **No** and select **Submit. **

That's it. Your automation is all set up to clean up your "documentation" tickets for you as you solve them.
