Triggers are business rules that automatically perform actions when tickets meet specified conditions. The conditions and actions available in a trigger depend on the channel being used.
Messaging triggers run when a customer requests or interacts with a conversation through a messaging channel. Conditions can include user data (like account status), conversation data (such as the time of day a conversation is started), and agent data ( such as queue size). When a trigger's conditions are met, the trigger "fires" and specified actions are performed through that same messaging channel (such as sending an automated message to the conversation).
