Using Triggers for Forwarded Emails in Zendesk
Can I use triggers for forwarded emails in Zendesk?
Forwarded emails to your support address don't have a specific attribute to differentiate them from regular email tickets. However, agents can use the Mail API command#tagsin the forwarded email to automatically add a tag to the ticket.
This allows you to set up triggers based on the presence of specific tags, helping you manage and differentiate forwarded tickets from others.
