Chrome Extension: Submit button expander
Posted Jun 08, 2018
Hi everyone, not quite sure if this is the right place, it feels like a tip/trick but it's also a bit of a plug of something I've made,
Introducing the Zendesk Submit Expander Chrome Extension:
It saves you a click every time you update a ticket (in a new status). It replaces the drop-up menu of the ticket submit button with a row of buttons, allowing you to immediately choose the best status (this does require a good understanding of statuses, this awesome article should help with that).
It works with the Play view and Bulk ticket updates too:
As you see it is designed to fit seamlessly into the zendesk UI, and it is responsive so once the screen cannot support the width it will go back to the drop-up list
The project is open source and pure CSS, available here:

This was initially working great but then stopped working - the a couple of months later it came back. now it comes and goes. Very odd - but it is a GREAT tool when it works, I just wish it would work consistently.

Hi Manojkumar!
The problem here is that the current conditions you have set would let your automation run multiple times on the same ticket, which isn't allowed by the system.
In order to fix this, you need to add an additional condition and action to prevent this. We have some documentation to help you this, which you can find here: Ensuring your automation only runs once.

This new version is now published in the Chrome store! The same link above is still valid: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zendesk-submit-expander/hpocmjkijiifppldckmofghmhjmmmcdk
If you had the extension installed already you will need to re-enable it within Chrome.

Just a quick update on this, I have managed to find time today to take a good look at this and how to recreate the extension in Javascript using the Zendesk Garden UI pattern.
Here's a screenshot of the progress so far:
The buttons are non-functioning and don't pick up the available and current statuses of the ticket yet and they don't reliably replace the standard drop-up for every ticket opened, so it's still a work in progress at this point.

There were some significant changes made to the UI of the submit button, I'll do my best to update the extension ASAP.

This has stopped working overnight as Zendesk have made a change to the Submit button. Issue submitted on the github page. Shame. We love this extension!
