Understanding Object Triggers for Custom Objects in Zendesk

What are object triggers for custom objects in Zendesk?

Object triggers for custom objects in Zendesk allow you to create and run triggers based on events with your custom object records. This means you can now build condition statements based on custom field values and define actions that update field values on the same object. Historically, triggers were limited to ticket events, but this new feature expands functionality beyond the standard ticket object, enabling more efficient workflows.
