Impact of Deleted Values in Zendesk Automations
What happens when a value used in Zendesk automations is deleted?
When a value used in Zendesk automations is deleted, it causes an error in the automation condition. If a ticket field or tag that an automation relies on is deleted, the condition becomes erroneous and is skipped during the automation process. This can lead to unintended actions being applied to tickets, such as adding incorrect tags.
For example, if a tag used in an automation is deleted, the automation will skip the condition that relied on that tag, potentially applying other conditions to all tickets. This can result in widespread changes, like adding a tag to all tickets, which may not be the intended outcome. To learn more, visit theoriginal article.
