Creating Custom Fields for Zendesk Notifications
How do I create a custom field for notifications in Zendesk?
To create a custom field for notifications in Zendesk, navigate to the Admin Center and select Tickets under Objects and rules. Add a new field and choose the Drop-down option. Enter a display name, such as 'About', and make sure to select 'Customers can edit' so it appears on the 'Submit a request' form.
Add the necessary values for the drop-down field, like 'Security', and save your changes. This custom field can then be used to trigger notifications based on user selections, allowing you to automate communication with external parties based on specific ticket criteria.
