You can notify external targets when a ticket is created or updated. External targets are cloud-based applications and services (such as X, formerly Twitter, and Twilio) as well as email. For more information, see Setting up a target.
Once you've set up targets, you can edit, delete, and deactivate and reactivate them.
Zendesk Support attempts to send notifications to an external target 21 times. If all attempts fail, the target is automatically deactivated and all Zendesk admins are notified. If a target is manually deleted or deactivated, admins will not be notified.
Note: Trial accounts are limited to a maximum of ten targets. Paid accounts do not
have target limits.
