How to disable Alert that has been cleared

We have a ticketing system that creates tickets from the emails that it receives. TrueNAS is sending alerts notifying us that "* Space usage for pool "pool" is 81%. Optimal pool performance requires used space remain below 80%." which is great. The system creates a ticket and we are able to resolve the issue. The problem is that once the space is brought back down under the 80% threshold a new ticket is created when the TrueNAS box sends the following alert:
"The following alert has been cleared:
* Space usage for pool "pool" is 81%. Optimal pool performance requires used space remain below 80%."

This second alert notifying us that the issue has been resolved creates another ticket that we must mark as closed. That in itself is a waste of time but the real issue is that the end-user gets another email stating that we are aware of the issue and working on it. This is causing confusion and unnecessary work.

Is there a way to disable the second alert that notifies us that it is back below 80%?

FYI, for a little more clarification. We are aware that the pool should be kept well below 80%, which it is 95% of the time. The TrueNAS houses the backup images and once a week the backup software creates a full image which is rather large. After that image is created it deletes the old full image and that brings it back into a normal range. These two alerts are created within minutes of each other...

Not sure exactly what ticket system you are using, but in my experience, many ticket systems give you filtering tools to prevent the creation of tickets upon receipt of certain emails. That might be an easier place to start than monkeying with TrueNAS.
