Locating Messaging Triggers in Zendesk

Find out where to access messaging triggers in Zendesk, whether in the Admin Center or Chat dashboard.

Where can I find the messaging triggers in Zendesk?

Messaging triggers in Zendesk can be found in different locations depending on your account setup. They are either in the Admin Center or the Chat dashboard.

If your account has been updated, you will find messaging triggers in the Admin Center under 'Objects and rules' > 'Business rules' > 'Messaging triggers'. For accounts still using the older setup, go to the Chat dashboard and navigate to 'Chat' > 'Settings' > 'Triggers'. This phased transition aims to streamline the process of managing messaging triggers.
