Zoho Flow Doesn't Detect Desk Custom Field Change

Zoho Flow Doesn't Detect Desk Custom Field Change

I have a Flow that is configured to be triggered when a custom field on a ticket changes. I also have a Schedule in Desk that runs a script that changes the custom field. 

When I change the custom field manually in the Desk interface, the Flow runs as expected. So I know everything works. The same also happens when I go into the Desk settings and manually run the script from the Schedule. 

However at the time the Schedule runs the script automatically, something seems to break, I don't know if Flow loses the connection or something right at the scheduled time every single day, but since the schedule shows it ran and Flow doesn't show it detected anything, I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting.

          • Using Agent Email Address as From Address

            Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses. Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about
