You can make use of the Supervisor rule to send out an email to the Agent after a few days (2 days as an example) so that he/she could follow up with the customer. In the same Supervisor you can also send out an email to the customer as a follow up email. This can be set based on your need. Please advice the Agents to set the status as the Custom status after replying to the customer.
