What a trigger can test and what it can do, grouped so you can find the one you need rather than scrolling a long list.

Conditions about the ticket

  • Status, type, priority, group, assignee, form, brand. All available as both is and changed to.
  • Ticket is created or updated. The most fundamental one.
  • Tags, containing at least one of, containing none of.
  • Custom fields, under their display names.
  • Channel, so a rule can behave differently for email, messaging or a call.

Conditions about the comment

  • Comment is public or private.
  • Comment text contains certain words. Powerful and blunt: it matches quoted text and signatures too.
  • Current user, which is how you distinguish an agent update from a customer reply.

Conditions about the people

  • Requester and assignee, including their role and their organisation.
  • Organisation, and any custom fields on it.
  • User custom fields, which is where account tier or contract type usually lives.

Conditions about time

  • Within or outside business hours, where you have a schedule.
  • Satisfaction rating, for reacting to a poor score.

Actions

  • Set any ticket field.
  • Add or remove tags.
  • Add a comment, public or internal.
  • Notify the requester and CCs, the assignee, a group, or an address.
  • Call a webhook.
  • Set skills or queue, for routing.

The two worth re-reading

Comment text contains looks like intent detection and is not. It matches anywhere in the message, including the quoted thread, so a customer replying to your email containing the word refund matches a rule about refunds.

Current user is how you avoid a rule reacting to your own agents' updates. Most notification rules need it and most first attempts forget it.
