Make Reopened Ticket Unassigned in Zendesk

Learn how to set up a trigger in Zendesk to make reopened tickets unassigned, allowing other agents to handle them.

How can I make a reopened ticket unassigned in Zendesk?

To make a reopened ticket unassigned in Zendesk, you can set up a trigger. This trigger will reset the ticket's assignee field when a solved ticket reopens.

To create this trigger, start by creating a new trigger and add the following conditions under 'Meet ALL of the following conditions':

  • Object > Ticket > Ticket status | Changed from | Solved
  • Ticket details > Current user | Is | (end-user)

Then, under 'Actions', add the condition:

  • Object > Ticket > Assignee | Ticket > -

If you're dealing with messaging tickets, remove the condition 'Ticket details > Current user | Is | (end-user)'. For accounts with custom ticket statuses deactivated, use 'Status' instead of 'Ticket status'.

For more details, you can refer to the originalZendesk help article.
