Understanding Zendesk's Default Language Trigger

Discover how Zendesk's default language trigger works and how to use it as a template for multilingual chat messages.

What is the default language trigger in Zendesk?

Zendesk provides a default language trigger as an example to help you send messages in specific languages. This default trigger is set up to send a message in French to French-speaking audiences.

You can use this default trigger as a template to create additional triggers for other languages. By duplicating and modifying the default trigger, you can easily set up a system to send proactive messages in various languages based on the visitor's location.
