Do You Need Both Created and Updated Conditions in Triggers?

Understand when it's necessary to include both 'Created' and 'Updated' conditions in Zendesk triggers and how to optimize your setup.

Is it necessary to include both 'Created' and 'Updated' conditions in Zendesk triggers?

No, it is not necessary to include both 'Created' and 'Updated' conditions for a trigger to fire. You can choose to include either one based on your workflow needs.

This flexibility allows you to tailor triggers to your specific needs without unnecessary conditions.
