Hi! Our customer community is segmented based on a person's role type (dictated by a tag being added to their account). We have some general info in our community that ANYONE can access, but if someone were to create their account, I don't receive a notification that they created a ZD account for me to check if they should get the community exlusive tag or not. Does anyone have any workarounds for something like this?
Community Sign Up Process
Login to the community
No account yet? Create an account
Enter your E-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
Great question! Since Zendesk doesn’t send automatic notifications when someone creates a community account, one common workaround is to set up automated processes to help manage tagging:
-
-
-
-
Although none of these are fully automatic out-of-the-box notifications, combining these methods can help streamline your tagging process and ensure members get the right segmentation in a timely manner.Use Triggers or Automations: If you’re using Zendesk Support alongside Guide, you could create a trigger that adds a tag based on certain ticket or user attributes when a Support ticket is first created by that user. This way you can segment based on support activity.
Leverage User Registration Apps or APIs: If you have API access, you could build a small automation that regularly checks for new Guide user sign-ups and flags or notifies you so you can review their role and add the appropriate tag.
Manual Review Queue: You could create a private sub-section in the community or a special post where new users can self-identify or request role verification, and then moderators can add tags accordingly.
Third-Party Integrations: Sometimes community management tools or CRM platforms integrated with Zendesk can help track user registrations and assign tags automatically.
Hope this gives you some ideas!
