See [Request comments](#request-comments)\n| collaborators | array | no | Adds collaborators (cc's) to the request. An email notification is sent to them when the ticket is created. See [Setting collaborators](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/creating-and-managing-requests#setting-collaborators)\n| requester | object | yes* | \\*Required for anonymous requests. Specifies the requester of the anonymous request. See [Creating anonymous requests](/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/creating-and-managing-requests#creating-anonymous-requests)\n\n#### Creating follow-up requests\n\nOnce a ticket is closed (as distinct from solved), it can't be reopened. However, you can create a new request that references the closed ticket. To create the follow-up request, include a `via_followup_source_id` property in the `request` object that specifies the closed ticket. The parameter only works with closed tickets. It has no effect with other tickets.\n"
