Adding tags to users and organizations

    Hello, 

    I am trying to add tags to users/agents in Zendesk in our organization via Active directory group or custom field.

    We currently are syncing with AD for our agent permissions and such. We have a group of users we currently manually tag with "Approver" through the zendesk administration. but when we force a sync with Active directory it clears this tag altogether. Is there a way to make this not clear out or set an automation to use a custom field or any other way to get this done? 

    Thanks 

    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    It appears that you've chatted with us, Zendesk support team, where we're able to address your issue. Turns out it's a configuration issue within your Active Directory.

    Best,

    Hello,

    Can an agent or assignee user tag be added to a ticket? Or for the example listed in the article, where can {{ticket.assignee.tags}} be used?

    Hi Binh,
     
    Agent/assignee tags can absolutely be added to a ticket if we're talking about including that information via placeholders. For example, if you wanted to create a trigger email notification that includes the assignee tags (instead of all tags on the ticket) - that's one way you can leverage this placeholder. For a data object like assignee tags, you would typically use these in business rules that include but are not limited to triggers, automations and macros.

    For triggers, the only option I can see are tags for tickets. In fact, there are Condition options for Ticket, Requester, or Other, but nothing for Assignee. How would I use agent/assignee tags in the triggers as a Condition field?

    Binh,
     
    My apologies as I could have been a bit more clear and specific in my last reply. You can specifically use the {{ticket.assignee.tags}} placeholder in the subject or email body under any of the email actions for triggers or automations. There are no business rule conditions for user tags.
     
    That being said, user tags automatically apply to the ticket if an agent with user tags is assigned or if the requester has user tags as well. In other words, you can use the condition Tags | Contains at least one of the following | and include user tags there.

    Hi Hervin,

    I appreciate your assistance with my questions. Unfortunately, the system does not apply agent tags to tickets when they are assigned. I have tested it and only Requester tags are applied. I have created a custom User Field to try to apply tags to tickets and it does not work for Agents/Assignees.

    It's only possible manually with triggers that check for a certain assignee (or assignees) and adding tags to the ticket and or the user if the tag should be included in future tickets of that user as well.

    Binh,
     
    Thank you for that clarification. You are absolutely correct in this case that user tags are only added to tickets upon creation and if the user with tags is the requester. No tags are added from the user who is set as the assignee. My apologies for misspeaking there.
     
    Sebastian, thanks for raising this alternative that would allow your system to automatically add tags associated with certain agents. This method would require at least a trigger for each agent that would require "their tag" to be added to a ticket and each trigger would have to have a condition that makes sure that no other "agent tag" is on the ticket either.

    Hey,

    It would be very helpful to be able to add and remove tags to orgs and users without overwriting existing tags with API (like it is done for tickets https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/ticketing/managing-tickets/adding-tags-to-tickets-without-overwriting-existing-tags/). Seems that this functionality isn't currently available.

    You need to use the add_tags function instead of the set_tags one. It won't overwrite the tags.

    Yep, but looks like it is only working for tickets, not orgs.

    Is it possible to automatically apply an organization to an end user submitting a ticket through a specific help center brand? i.e. End user opens support ticket via X brand, gets X organization applied.

    Hi Samantha,
     
    This feature is not natively available. However, this can be done by customization with utilizing web-hooks, APIs and Triggers. Use the update user endpoint for your webhook. Then use that webhook as your trigger action whenever a ticket is created from a specific brand. This will require some skills with API utilization and is outside Advocacy support. Hope this helps!

    • In Admin Center, click  People in the sidebar, then select Configuration > Tags.

    Unable to connect to Members > Tags.
    And the following will be displayed.

    database error
    Database timeout error

    Hi there. 

    I am wanting to know if we can assign a ticket to an organization that is the receiver or is cc'd in on a conversation. 

    If a ticket is submitted by a client it gets assigned to their organization but if we send an email to a user in an organization it doesn't get assigned to the organization. 

    Is there a way to do this? 

     

    Thanks

    Hi Digital,

    When you are creating a ticket on behalf of the user, the organization on the ticket will depend on the default organization of the requester you have designated. You can then manually modify it if the user belongs to multiple organization.
     

     
    Hi Mohammed,

    You can use the Update User endpoint and this payload.
     

    {
    "user": {
    "tags": [
    "tag1", "tag2"
    ]
    }
    }
