In the case of CCs, there are inborn system rules that exist to reduce the number of duplicate email notifications sent to users about a single request, and ensure that internal notes remain private. However, these rules may not completely eliminate duplicate emails—users still might get some duplicate emails.
Zendesk Support includes inborn system rules that sometimes suppress actions in business rules in certain circumstances. Inborn system rules are rules that you cannot change, modify, or override, which dictate the default behavior of Support as a software product (see About inborn system ticket rules). These rules may make it seem like entire triggers and automations failed to fire, or that certain actions failed to execute, but this is not a mistake.
