When Placeholder Suppression Rules Apply in Zendesk

Discover the conditions under which placeholder suppression rules are applied in Zendesk ticket triggers.

When do placeholder suppression rules apply in Zendesk?

Placeholder suppression rules apply in Zendesk when a ticket trigger fires upon ticket creation, and both the recipient and creator of the message are end users. Additionally, the 'Anyone can submit tickets' setting must be enabled, and 'Ask users to register' must be disabled. These conditions ensure that placeholders are suppressed to prevent spam content from being sent in notifications. It's important to note that these rules only affect the initial email notification and not subsequent updates.
