CommentFormatting and customizing your email

Charles Nadeau This looks like an awesome resource for customizing notification emails! I wish I had this when I last went down that particular rabbit hole! 😁

 

I want to call out another limitation not mentioned here. There is only a single HTML template, and while you can customize it to support multiple brands, the logic that controls which brand identity to show is only supported for Ticket-related email notifications. If you also have multiple branded Guide / Help Center instances, things like following notifications will not conform to the branding logic. 

I wrote a post about this last year when I became aware of this: 
Multi-brand support for Guide Email notifications.

Community comment Q&A - Tickets and email

Hi Santiago, 

 

If you read my earlier comment, it should guide you in how to prevent notifications from going out. Basically, you want to make sure that the notification trigger is prevented from running under some circumstances -there is no received at is not condition, but you can use a contains none of the following tags condition instead, and have a trigger above your notification trigger set it for the tickets that are received at those addresses you want to exclude. 

 

The requester field is for conditions where someone from your team is the ticket requester, and will not help with targeting support addresses. 

 

I hope this helps.

Community comment Discussion - Tips and best practices from the community

Hi Joy Daludado 

I'm not sure that exact event is available, but webhooks do have some article-related events that could be investigated as a triggering event: Article events.

 

👆 This event could be used to start a flow (using a Zendesk webhook), but you would need some kind of middleware (Zapier, MS Power Automate or a ZIS flow for example) to take the Webhook response and modify it into a readable message and send that to Slack.

CommentAccounts and billing

Hi  Rob Stack 

I'm reviewing the sandbox creation report for rows where “copied” is "no", and I'm seeing a nameless row where “config_type” is “installations” - how do I find out what this is?

 

I have tried to look up the “source_config_id" in /api/v2/apps and /api/services/zis/registry/integrations but I haven't found a match. Hope you can help me progress here - thanks!

Community comment Feedback - Ticketing system (Support)

I agree completely! This change offers no value at all and is a major inconvenience. 
It is also concerning that this was made unannounced and for no discernable reason.

Hi @... 

Does this change allow routing triggers from the production instance to be replicated in the sandbox with using these faux support addresses?

Community comment Q&A - Tickets and email

Hi Paul Tarling 

I like First Reply Time and Next Reply Time targets for making sure we reply to our requesters in a timely manner, and also hold our agent accountable to this.

I don't so much like Resolution Time for the same reason you mention - a breach doesn't represent a failing on the agent's part, it is not within the agent's control when a ticket is fully resolved.

 

To your question, you could maybe update your SLA policy to exclude ticket of the Task type, and have another policy capture these - maybe using another metric like Group SLA.

 

I hope this helps.

The Guide portal access to tickets is meant for a Requester/CC use case, it makes sense to me that they would be able to see the ticket from that context - being the requester would reveal public comments only, so any private notes or private fields would remain hidden. Adding the agent as a follower creates an exception to this it seems.

 

If you're on an Enterprise plan, you should be able to further configure the Support ticket UI for the agent as requester context:
