Is it possible that when a ticket is created through this form, we somehow catch in what language our help center was used, so we can use a trigger to automatically assign the ticket to the right group?
This should be of help to you.

Depending on your use case, you may consider adding a custom field for language. You would definitely be able to create a trigger based on that.
Thanks for jumping in and sharing that resource, Alejandro!
Jonathan, let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi There - we are looking for a better way to handle contact forms from our customers so we have pointed our HTML for at the API, however it is being throttled by a rate limiter which considers the form to be from an anonymous IP.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks
