Triggers Not Firing for Bulk Ticket Updates

Learn why triggers don't fire during bulk ticket updates and how to fix it by adjusting trigger conditions.

Why aren't my triggers firing when I update tickets in bulk?

Triggers may not fire during bulk ticket updates because these updates are recorded as Web Service (API) events. If your trigger includes the condition 'Update via | is not | Web Service (API)', it won't activate. To resolve this, remove the condition or create a separate trigger for bulk updates.
