Trigger Firing on All Tickets in Zendesk

Learn why your Zendesk trigger is firing on all tickets and how to fix it by adjusting the 'Received at' condition.

Why is my trigger firing on all tickets in Zendesk?

If your trigger is firing on all tickets, it's likely due to the 'Ticket > Received at' condition. When you forward emails to your Zendesk account, they are recognized as being received at your Zendesk support email address. This means any trigger using this condition will fire for both your Zendesk email and any external email addresses that forward to it.

To fix this, adjust your trigger to target only the external email address. Set the condition to 'Ticket > Received at | Is |[email protected]' to prevent it from firing on emails received directly at your Zendesk support email address. For more details, check out theTrigger conditions and actions reference.
