How can it be achieved inside Zendesk to parse a Zendesk subject or a ticket descriptions for datefields and store the content in a custom field?
Examples
Parse the following text/comment from a new ticket …
Dear support team.
My family and I will arrive in 3 days on 08-07-2019 at your place. Is everything set so we can check-in? Thank you for a quick reply.
… and store the extracted date (08-07-2019) in a custom Zendesk field called “arrival date”.
Solution
We have built a middleware/API that does exactly that. It makes use of regular-expressions, so every format you need is possible.
The desired parsing action will be pushed to our Zendesk AddOn API and the required custom field will be updated.
Now you can make use of triggers, automations and views by checking this custom field to prioritize tickets based on the field contents.
