PartnerClientTicketReply
Plan or send a response to one permitted Partner client ticket under the Partner storefront identity.
Endpoint: https://sive.host/modules/addons/shapi/sh-api.php
Method: POST using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Changes account or service state. Access is limited to directly owned records or explicitly assigned Partner-managed client services after both relationships are verified.
Important behavior
- The send is rejected if the ticket thread, status, or message changed after planning.
- A successful reply is posted under the Partner identity and the ticket is set to Answered.
- Only the visible ticket number is accepted; no internal database identifier is accepted from the caller.
