Set Up Triggers
Set up event triggers in GoToAsist Service Desk for various objectives, such as adding a priority to an incident, stopping a clock in case of an incident status change or assigning new incidents to as specific person based on certain criteria.
The following are examples of commonly used triggers:
- Stop the clock when an incident's status is changed to "With Customer.”
- Automatically make new incidents "P1" priority if their title contains the word "urgent.”
- Automatically assign new incidents to a specific person if the incident's type is "Query," "Feature Request," or "Feedback."
Add event triggers
1. Go to the Triggers page as follows:
- To create triggers on a per-service basis, go to Configure > Account-Wide Settings > Triggers tab > New Trigger.

2. Fill in the required trigger and response information as follows:
