Understanding Ticket Triggers in Zendesk
What are ticket triggers in Zendesk and how do they work?
Ticket triggers in Zendesk are business rules that automatically perform actions when specific conditions are met after a ticket is created or updated. They help automate processes like notifying customers when a ticket is opened.
Triggers consist of conditions and actions. Conditions are the criteria that need to be met for the trigger to fire, and actions are what happens when those conditions are satisfied. For example, if a condition is true, the trigger will execute the specified actions. You can use standard triggers or create your own, and they can be managed by admins or agents with the appropriate permissions. Learn more about setting up triggershere.
