Automate Comment Conversion in Zendesk

Explore how to use Zendesk API to automate converting public comments to private.

Is it possible to automate the conversion of public comments to private in Zendesk?

Currently, Zendesk does not offer a native feature to automate the conversion of public comments to private notes. This action cannot be performed through triggers or automations.

However, you can use the Zendesk API to achieve this. By using the List comments endpoint, you can retrieve all ticket comments and then use the PUT method to make a comment private. For assistance with the API, it's recommended to consult your development team.
