Zendesk Automations Timing Issues
Why do my automations not run at the top of the hour in Zendesk?
Automations in Zendesk are designed to run once every hour, but they may not always execute exactly at the top of the hour. This is because the system processes automations in batches, and the exact timing can vary based on system load and other factors.
If your automations are not running as expected, it might be due to the processing queue or other system-related delays. It's important to ensure that your conditions are set correctly and that there are no conflicts with other automations or triggers.
