Business rule action suppression and Events log in Zendesk

Learn how suppression of business rule actions affects the Events log in Zendesk and what gets recorded.

How does business rule action suppression affect the Events log in Zendesk?

When business rule actions like Email user + (requester and CCs) are suppressed in Zendesk, it affects the Events log. If the trigger or automation doesn't include any other actions, no event is recorded, even though the trigger or automation fired.

However, if there are other actions in the rule, such as adding a tag, those actions are executed and recorded in the Events log. This ensures that while the notification might be suppressed, other actions are still documented.
