You can create a ticket from a comment on a knowledge base article. When you do, a ticket is created in your instance of Zendesk Support with the body text from the comment and a link to the comment. The ticket number link appears beside the comment in the knowledge base article.

Hi,
Is there anyway to automate the creation of a ticket from any comment left on an article??

At this time, unfortunately, we don't support the function to automatically create tickets from all comments on Help Center articles.
It may be something you can complete using our API, although it's outside of scope to provide custom code such as this. We can suggest that you utilize our [posts] and [post comments] endpoints in this process. Essentially, you would run a cron job that checks for new content on these two endpoints, and if found [creates a new ticket] based on the found contents.
We realize that's not going to be a perfect solution so we also like to suggest that you add this request to our Product Feedback page. Our developers check the page regularly to determine which new features to implement and we think your request would be a popular one.
I hope that help. Thank you!

Does the comment notify anyone?

When you ask, "Does the comment notify anyone", could you perhaps provide more details about your use case? Any additional information is helpful. Thank you!

Hi,
can we enable this for end users/customers to create a ticket from their own post.

Hi Magudeeswar Nataraj !
Not at the moment. This function is only available for your team. Your users can create tickets from your channels such as Web form, Web Widget, Chat & etc.

this would be a great function to have so we can create a trigger to notify staff when a comment is posted
