Default Triggers Sending Emails to Zendesk Agents

Discover the default triggers in Zendesk that send email notifications to agents and learn how to manage them effectively.

What are the default triggers that send emails to Zendesk agents?

Zendesk has four default triggers that send email notifications to agents. These are Notify assignee of comment update, Notify assignee of assignment, Notify assignee of reopened ticket, and Notify all agents of received request.

These triggers are responsible for sending updates to agents' emails whenever there are changes or activities in the tickets they are assigned to or involved with. If you wish to stop these notifications, you can deactivate these triggers. However, be careful not to deactivate triggers that notify customers, as this will prevent them from receiving important updates.
