Modify Default Notification Trigger for Holidays

Learn how to modify the default notification trigger in Zendesk to prevent sending notifications on holidays.

What steps are needed to modify the default notification trigger for holidays?

To modify the default notification trigger for holidays, you need to adjust the conditions to prevent notifications on holidays. This involves editing the "Notify requester and CCs of received request" trigger.

In the Admin Center, go to Objects and rules > Business rules > Triggers. Select the default trigger and add the condition 'On a holiday? Is No.' This change ensures that notifications are not sent on holidays, preventing duplicate messages. Once you've made this adjustment, save your changes. This step is crucial before creating a new holiday-specific trigger.
