This is the only setting that I can find.

Is there a way to auto-close a topic if there hasn’t been a response after # days?

Thanks!

🤔 You can change the dropdown from “hours” to “days” and check that checkbox below.

 ![don't close until x days](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/5/2/a/52aa92307adf44e17f42793b8a0a2e8e280e7b86.png)

I didn’t notice the checkbox. Is there a way to respond with a certain template before closing?
