What are the steps to use triggers to stop an email loop in Zendesk?

Using triggers is an effective way to stop email loops in Zendesk.

First, create a trigger that adds a tag to tickets from automated emails. Under Conditions, specify a string from your email template. Under Actions, add tags like 'automated_response' and set the ticket status to 'Solved'. Move this trigger to the top of your list. Then, modify existing notification triggers to ignore tickets with this tag. Save your changes to ensure the loop is stopped.
