How to Notify a Requester When a Ticket is Assigned to an Agent
When a ticket is assigned to an agent, there are two options for notifying the requester, namely:
-
Email notifications: In email notifications, the liquid feature can be used to notify the requester about the agent details, whether the agent is auto-assigned or manually assigned to the ticket at the time of creation.
-
Update ticket trigger: After ticket creation, if it gets assigned, you can notify the requester using an update ticket trigger.
