Enable Auto-Assign for Agents on Ticket Solve
How do I enable auto-assign for agents on ticket solve in Zendesk?
To enable auto-assign for agents on ticket solve, navigate to the Admin Center. In the sidebar, click on 'Objects and rules', then select 'Tickets' followed by 'Settings'. In the 'Assignment' section, check the option 'Auto-assign tickets upon solve' and click 'Save'.
This feature ensures that when an agent solves a ticket that isn't currently assigned, the ticket will automatically be assigned to them. Additionally, if a ticket is set to 'Solved' by a trigger or automation without an assignee, the next agent who updates the ticket will be set as the assignee.
