How automations affect comment privacy in Zendesk

Learn how automations in Zendesk impact comment privacy and notification settings for different user roles.

How do automations affect comment privacy in Zendesk?

Automations in Zendesk can affect comment privacy, especially when the Email user action is involved. When an automation with this action fires on a private ticket, admins, agents, or groups receive an email notification, but end users do not.

Additionally, no comment, whether public or private, is added to the ticket, and an event is recorded in the Events log. This ensures that sensitive information remains private while still allowing necessary notifications to be sent to relevant parties.
