Automatically Update Ticket Status in Zoho Desk Based on Actions in Zoho Projects

Automatically Update Ticket Status in Zoho Desk Based on Actions in Zoho Projects

Hi Zoho Desk Team,
Hope you’re doing well.

We’re using the Zoho Desk–Zoho Projects integration to manage tasks related to customer tickets, and it works well for linking and tracking progress. However, there are a few important automation capabilities missing that would make the integration much more powerful and efficient:

  1. Update Ticket Status When Task Is Marked as Done in Zoho Projects:

    Currently, when a task linked to a ticket is moved to Done (or any other status) in Zoho Projects, the ticket status in Zoho Desk does not automatically update.

    It would be very helpful if we could configure automation rules that automatically change the ticket status in Desk when the corresponding task status in Projects is updated.

    For example: When the task is marked Done, automatically set the linked ticket to Resolved or Closed or When a task is moved to In Progress, update the ticket status accordingly.

  2. Add a Note When a Comment Is Added in Zoho Projects

    Similarly, we would like to trigger ticket updates when a comment is added to the linked task in Zoho Projects.

    This would make communication between project and support teams much smoother - for instance, automatically adding a private note to the ticket or updating its status when a project comment is posted.

These enhancements would help ensure that tickets and tasks remain fully synchronized across both platforms, minimizing manual updates and improving collaboration between customer support and project management teams.

Thank you very much for considering this request.

Best regards,
Ram

    • Four types of task dependencies

      "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."                                                                                                                  - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

    • Tip: How to print the Gantt View

      Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

    • Task and Project numbering

      Zoho Projects now generates a unique number for each project, task, and issue added. The auto-generated ID is a combination of a prefix and a number which is assigned by Zoho Projects. The unique IDs for projects, tasks, and issues will be useful to track, identify, and search easily. You can modify the settings to enable or disable the Project and Task IDs.  Learn more on how to modify Prefix & ID settings for projects and tasks. Issue IDs cannot be disabled, only its prefix can be changed (tasks

    • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

      Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

    • Blueprint in Zoho Projects

      Often, we stumble upon tasks having the same status workflow. Repetitive task processes are tedious to handle, right? That’s why we have introduced Blueprint for task automation. Blueprint is a tool to organize tasks and automate them based on the workflow you design and the criteria you define.    How do I associate tasks with a blueprint? You can set the criteria while creating the blueprint such that when you publish a blueprint, the tasks that satisfy the criteria will be associated with the
