Using Triggers for Ticket Routing in Zendesk

Explore when to use triggers in Zendesk for efficient ticket routing and assignment.

When should I use triggers for ticket routing in Zendesk?

Triggers in Zendesk are best used for ticket routing if you do not use the Agent Workspace, use live chat, or prefer not to assign tickets based on agent availability, capacity, skills, or ticket priority. Triggers operate as a 'push' routing model, automatically assigning tickets to agents.

This method is flexible and can be customized to suit various business needs, allowing you to create specific conditions and actions for ticket assignment. Triggers can be a powerful tool for automating workflows and ensuring tickets are directed to the right agents promptly. For more insights, visit the originalZendesk help article.
