Add Public Comments to Zendesk Tickets with Triggers

Learn how to use triggers in Zendesk to automatically add public comments to tickets, saving time and deflecting tickets without agent intervention.

How can I add a public comment to a Zendesk ticket using triggers?

You can automatically add a public comment to a Zendesk ticket using triggers. This feature allows you to set conditions under which a public comment is added to a ticket, helping to deflect tickets without agent intervention.

To set this up, navigate to the Admin Center, click on 'Objects and rules' in the sidebar, and select 'Business rules > Triggers'. Create a new trigger and set conditions such as 'Status | Is | New' and 'Intent | Is |'. In the actions pane, add 'Autoreply' and fill in the reply body. This setup ensures that the trigger runs only once per ticket, saving time and effort for your support team. For more details, check theoriginal Zendesk article.
