Editing Messaging Triggers in Zendesk
How do I edit messaging triggers in Zendesk?
Editing messaging triggers in Zendesk is similar to editing standard triggers, with one key exception. If you select a condition or action that is only available in the Chat channel, you must update these fields before saving the trigger settings.
This ensures that your triggers are compatible with the messaging channel and function as intended. You can customize the content and settings to better suit your messaging needs.
