How do I create a chat trigger in Zendesk based on a tag?

Creating a chat trigger in Zendesk based on a tag involves using custom code and the chat trigger settings.

First, use a JavaScript command to add a tag when the chat widget is opened. Then, in the Zendesk chat settings, create a trigger that fires when this tag is present. Ensure that the trigger is set to fire only once per visitor to avoid repetitive actions. This setup allows you to automate responses or actions based on specific conditions. For more information, see theZendesk Chat triggers conditions and actions reference.
