Ticket triggers in Zendesk are event-based actions that occur when a ticket is created or updated. They are used to automate responses or actions based on specific changes in a ticket.
Triggers are activated whenever a ticket's attributes change or a user adds a comment, provided the conditions defined in the trigger are met. For example, you can set up a trigger to automatically respond to a frequently asked question by checking the subject text of a ticket. Triggers are ideal for automating tasks that need to happen immediately after a ticket event, ensuring timely responses and updates. For more information, check out the originalZendesk help article.
