Triggers and Automations for Email Notifications in Zendesk

Understand how triggers and automations work together to generate email notifications in Zendesk.

How do triggers and automations generate email notifications in Zendesk?

In Zendesk, triggers and automations are used to generate email notifications based on specific conditions. Triggers initiate actions when a ticket is created or updated, such as sending an email to the customer. Automations, on the other hand, are time-based actions, like notifying an agent about an unsolved high-priority ticket. These tools help automate and streamline your support workflow, ensuring timely communication with customers.
