How do I trigger when a Zendesk ticket is solved?

FAQ

Questions about Ticket Solved.

How does the Ticket Solved trigger work in Zendesk?
Fires when a ticket is marked solved in Zendesk. Common use: kick off CSAT surveys, log resolution to CRM, or run an AI quality-of-resolution check.
Is the Ticket Solved trigger real-time?
Yes. Ticket Solved uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Zendesk.
What data does Ticket Solved return?
The full event payload from Zendesk. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Ticket Solved so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Zendesk admin permissions to use Ticket Solved?
For most Zendesk accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Zendesk plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Zendesk's docs if the trigger fails to register.
