Keep Zendesk tickets waiting on your team visible
Make the internal next step easier to pick up, even when other work interrupts the day.
Trigger
New Zendesk Ticket
Triggers when a new ticket is created in a specified Zendesk view.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Tickets waiting on an internal decision can sit quietly while the team focuses on newer incoming work.
- Brings pending internal work back into view.
- Helps the team notice tickets needing a decision.
- Reduces silent waiting between support steps.

- 2Create an automation and describe in one plain-language instruction the Slack reminder to create for tickets needing team action.
- 3Select the New Zendesk Ticket trigger and choose a team-action view.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, create the automation, and test with one real ticket.
