Thanks Tommy.

I've just realised I'm mixed up.  I'm meaning automations.  My bad.  The below is what I'm getting.

Tags should look like this:

Maybe try some other browser, because I don't have any problems with Enter whatsoever

I have a trigger that has a condition for "Tags: Contains none of the following" and I have several tags in this field to stop the trigger from running if they are on the ticket in Support.  However the trigger ran on a ticket that had one of these tags and I can't find out what I've done wrong.

 

Details of this article above state to add multiple tags "Press Enter between each tag you add.".  However this doesn't work, and pressing enter just saves the trigger.  I have put the tags in with a ; and space between each tag e.g. tag_1; tag_2.

 

Please can someone help me with what the correct method is of adding multiple tags to a trigger condition and why the trigger isn't working.

Hi Antoine, and welcome to the community!
 
There's not a built-in way to see if a tag has just been added -- you can only see if a tag is present or not present. I'd suggest having this trigger add its own tag to record that the information has been sent to ProductBoard, and then adding a check to make sure that tag isn't already present in the Conditions section.

We have a trigger that, when the ticket is created or updated, send the data to another application (productboard). 

Is it possible to have triggers that checked what thoses changes are? When a ticket is inactive for 8+ hours, we add a tag to it. However that mean the trigger will be activated. Anyway we can specify that we want it to trigger IF the change is not adding that tag?

Hi Tommy, for the best visibility to our product teams, could you create a post with your use case to our Feedback on the ticketing system (Support) topic, using this template to format your feedback? Thanks!

The addition of text and number custom fields to the Actions is really great.

But it would be even better if we could use placeholders to populate such fields. It would improve a lot of different work scenarios.

1264158216949 I appreciate that response! With that said, can you please get a direct reason why the Add CC feature was removed? If there is no reason, we would like for it to be added back since it was already built out and removed for seemingly no reason. That is a huge loss of a feature, so this is a high priority issue for us. Yes, we can do the workaround, but that is not a long-term solution for a feature Zendesk already built out for users.

Hi Luke,
 
I definitely understand your point. However, I cannot provide you the specific reason why the feature has been changed.
 
What I can do for you is offer a workaround that can help out for your use case. 
 
https://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com/api/v2/tickets/{{ticket.id}}.json+?ticket[collaborators]=your@email.com
 
You can use this endpoint as a URL target to be used as an action on your trigger to add a CC.
 
Hope this helps!

1263082116169 To define it further, here are the main differences between those features:

- A reply from a CC added to a ticket threads to the original email and allows the CC to talk with the requester/customer.

- A reply from a follower gets added as a private note, meaning that they cannot communicate with the requester/customer directly.

- Future Zendesk agent replies to the ticket include CCs in the thread.

- Future Zendesk agent replies to the ticket do not include followers; followers get a separate email notification.
