Create a trigger

Updated Nov 9, 2026

Create

  1. Open Admin Center, Business rules, Triggers and choose New trigger.
  2. Name it and pick a category.
  3. Add conditions under Meet ALL of the following conditions and Meet ANY of the following conditions. For example: ticket is Created, and subject contains at least one of the words refund return.
  4. Add actions. For example: group is Returns, add tag refund, email the requester.
  5. Save. The trigger runs on the next matching ticket.

A trigger needs at least one condition and at least one action, and it is active as soon as you save it. Use Active in the editor to park one.

Order matters

Triggers run by category position, then by their position inside the category. Uncategorised triggers run first. A later trigger sees the changes an earlier one made.

Word matching

"Contains at least one of the words" matches whole words, case-insensitively, and keeps "quoted phrases" together: pin does not match pinned. "Contains the string" matches any part of the text.
