Adding Nullifying Conditions to Zendesk Automations

How can I add a nullifying condition to my Zendesk automation?

Adding a nullifying condition ensures your automation runs only once. You can do this by setting a condition that becomes false after the automation runs.

For instance, if your automation action increases ticket priority to urgent, set it to run only on tickets with high priority. This way, once the priority is changed to urgent, the condition is no longer met, stopping the automation from running again. Alternatively, use tags by adding a tag to the ticket and setting the automation to look for tickets without that tag. This ensures the automation only runs once per ticket.
