Automations & Workflows


Automations save time by executing actions when specific conditions are met. Reduce repetitive tasks and ensure consistent processes.


Creating an Automation

  • Go to Settings > Automations
  • Click "New Automation"
  • Choose a trigger (when this happens...)
  • Add conditions (if these are true...)
  • Define actions (then do this...)
  • Name your automation and enable it

  • Trigger Types

  • On ticket create: When a new ticket arrives
  • On ticket update: When status, assignee, or tags change
  • On message received: When a new customer message arrives
  • Time-based: After a set delay or on a schedule
  • Webhook: When an external system sends a webhook

  • Example Automations

  • Trigger: On ticket create
  • Action: Send reply with "We received your request and will respond within 2 hours"

  • Escalate urgent tickets:

  • Trigger: On ticket create
