Issue Symptoms
When using the {{ticket.title}} placeholder in notifications that are sent to end-users, e.g. in triggers and automations, it is replaced with the first comment of the ticket instead of the subject.
Conditions
The subject field is not visible to end-users.
Resolution
When the Subject field is not visible to end-users, we resolve the {{ticket.title}} placeholder by adding the description of the ticket instead. This is the first comment on the ticket. In order to use the Subject field in notifications to end-users, it must be visible to them. You can update the setting as follows:
- Go to Admin icon (
) > Manage > Ticket Fields
- Click the options icon (
) besides Subject field and select Edit
- Check either the Editable for end-users option or the Read-only for end-users option in the Permissions section
- Save the changes

Finally I saw this article which helped me to figure out the problem!!!!!!
How could we find out there is a relationship between {{ticket.title}} placeholder and Notification trigger, and the point is I made it invisible to end-user on Zendesk Guide page form, BUT it only effected our tickets generated via API, we don't use the {{ticket.title}} placeholder on our own forms!!!
So I really think a message like "if you set invisible to end-user, {{ticket.title}} placeholder will be replaced with the first comment of the ticket instead of the subject." need to be added on the page since Subject is so important.
