Importance of Editing Default Trigger for Holidays

Understand why editing the default trigger is crucial before creating a holiday notification trigger in Zendesk.

Why is it important to edit the default trigger before creating a holiday trigger?

Editing the default trigger before creating a holiday trigger is important to avoid sending duplicate notifications. Without this step, customers might receive both the default and holiday messages.

By modifying the "Notify requester and CCs of received request" trigger to include the condition 'On a holiday? Is No,' you ensure that the default notification is suppressed on holidays. This prevents confusion and ensures that only the holiday-specific message is sent during scheduled holidays.
