Difference Between 'string' and 'thisstring' in Zendesk
How does Zendesk differentiate between 'string' and 'thisstring' in conditions?
In Zendesk, if you have a condition that looks for 'string' and one that excludes 'thisstring', the trigger will still return tickets with the word 'string'. The condition 'contains / does not contain at least one of the following words' checks words individually, while 'contains / does not contain string' checks a group of words.
For example, 'Ticket: Comment text > Contains at least one of the following words > "account delete"' checks for either 'account' or 'delete'. Meanwhile, 'Ticket: Comment text > Contains the following string > "account delete"' checks for the entire phrase.
