Trigger when a ticket has not been assigned from a group to an individual user within the group
We currently have our Level 1 agents assign specific types of tickets to a Level 2 group, and then agents from that specific group are expected to assign the ticket to themselves.
I am looking for a way to run a trigger if a ticket has been assigned to a Level 2 group but not picked up by a specific Level 2 agent for more than a certain period of time.

Hi Sara,
Triggers work immediately when a ticket is created or updated, so they work for this use case. Automations do work on a timed basis, but I'm not sure there'd be a way to make one work based on time after a ticket is assigned to another group either, but since this is question more about building a business rule and not specific to deploying them from a Sandbox, I'm going to relocate your question to our Zendesk Suite Q&A topic, so more people can see it, and possibly chime in with their ideas.

Hi Sara Pearson,
Like Dave said, your use case can be solved with an automation, rather than a trigger. It should meet all of the following conditions:
- Ticket: Hours since assignee update >> (business) Greater than >> "x hours"
- Ticket: Group >> is >> "Level 2 Group"
- Ticket: Assignee >> is >> -
You can perform certain actions such as re-assigning ticket to Level 1 or another group. Or you can notify a manager on slack or email for example.
If you do not re-assign it to another group, make sure you add a nullifying action, such as tags, to prevent the automation from running every hour. More on that here.
