Using Zendesk Triggers for Chat and Messaging
Can Zendesk triggers be used for chat and messaging?
Yes, Zendesk triggers can be used for both chat and messaging. These triggers are event-based, meaning they run when a specific event occurs, such as a new chat message or a change in a messaging conversation.
Admins must specify the event that causes the trigger to run. There are standard chat and messaging triggers provided by Zendesk to help you get started with your workflows. Depending on your account setup, these triggers can be managed in the Admin Center or the Chat dashboard.
