Using Ticket Subject Data in Zendesk Automations

Discover how to indirectly use ticket subject data in Zendesk automations with triggers.

How can I use ticket subject data in Zendesk automations?

To use ticket subject data in Zendesk automations, you need to employ a workaround involving triggers. Since automations cannot directly use ticket subject data, you can create a trigger that tags tickets based on their subject. Once the trigger adds a tag to the ticket, you can set up an automation that fires when this tag is present. This approach allows you to leverage ticket subject data indirectly in your automations.
