Prevent Agents from Reassigning Tickets in Zendesk

Learn how to use triggers in Zendesk to stop agents from reassigning tickets to other agents. Follow our step-by-step guide.

How can I prevent agents from reassigning tickets in Zendesk?

To prevent agents from reassigning tickets to other agents in Zendesk, you can use triggers. Triggers are automated actions that occur when certain conditions are met. By setting up a trigger, you can ensure that any attempt to change the assignee of a ticket will automatically revert back to the original agent.

To create this trigger, navigate to Admin Center > Objects and Rules > Business Rules > Triggers. Create a new trigger with conditions that detect when a ticket is updated and the assignee is changed from the current user. Then, set the action to reassign the ticket back to the current user. Once created, test the trigger to ensure it functions as expected. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
