Question

How do I prevent email notifications from being sent out on SMS tickets?

Answer 

By default, the user receives both a text message and an email notification with each new response from an agent. To only send texts, you need to modify your triggers to omit the Text channel.

You can use tags to prevent email notifications from being sent out on SMS tickets.

1. Create a new trigger.

2. Edit your Notify requester triggers.

3. Add the conditions and actions below for your trigger:
   • Meets ALL of the following conditions
     • Tags | Contains none of the following | sms_ticket

You can manually apply the sms_ticket tag to SMS tickets, or you can create a trigger that automatically applies this tag as shown below:

• Meet ALL of the following conditions
  • Ticket | Is | Created
  • Channel | Is | Text
• Actions
  • Add tags | sms_ticket

Because triggers fire in the order they appear on the active Triggers page, move this trigger above your Notify requester triggers. For more information, see the article: About triggers and how they work
