Examples of Using Liquid Filters in Zendesk

Discover how to use Liquid filters in Zendesk to manipulate placeholder outputs, like showing specific parts of nested fields.

What are some examples of using Liquid filters in Zendesk?

Liquid filters in Zendesk can be used to manipulate placeholder outputs, such as displaying only specific parts of nested fields. For instance, if you have a custom drop-down field with options like "Support::Password" and "Billing::Invoice", you can use the "split" and "last" filters to show only the last element, like "Invoice".

The syntax for this would be{{ticket.ticket_field_<field ID number> | split:"::" | last }}. This approach can be adapted to show the first element by using the "first" filter instead of "last". For more examples, check out theLiquid for Designers page.
