Limitations of Using Triggers for Zendesk Ticket Comments

Understand the limitations of using triggers to add comments to Zendesk tickets and the need for the Advanced AI add-on.

What are the limitations of using triggers for ticket comments in Zendesk?

The main limitation is that you cannot natively add comments to tickets using triggers unless you have the Advanced AI add-on. Without this add-on, Zendesk does not support this functionality.

Additionally, while some users have found workarounds using webhooks or API calls, these methods are not officially supported by Zendesk and can lead to technical issues. It's important to consider these limitations when planning your ticketing workflows.
