How can I reverse an automation to clean up tickets in Zendesk?

To reverse an automation and clean up tickets in Zendesk, create a new automation that undoes the actions of the previous one. For instance, if an unwanted tag was added to all tickets, set up an automation to remove that tag.

After running this corrective automation, create another one to apply the intended changes to the correct tickets. This process helps you rectify any unintended modifications made by the original automation.
