Use Custom Fields in Ticket Subject Zendesk

Learn about using custom fields in ticket subjects in Zendesk and explore possible workarounds.

Can I use custom fields in the ticket subject in Zendesk?

Using custom fields directly in the ticket subject isn't straightforward in Zendesk. While you can use placeholders like{{ticket.title}}and{{ticket.ticket_field_ticketID}}in macros, these don't work with triggers for modifying the subject. However, you can explore using the Update Ticket API and HTTP Targets to achieve similar results.

For more information on using placeholders, refer to theZendesk Support placeholders reference.
