Hi team!
Sharing a customer request for consideration. Customer uses webhook triggers to send emails due to security restrictions and needs the latest public ticket comment with full HTML (html_body) so the email renders correctly.
At the moment, webhook placeholders return plain/unformatted text, and _html placeholders don’t expose raw HTML when sent via webhooks (as documented). While the customer can pass the ticket or comment ID and fetch html_body via the Tickets API externally, they’re trying to avoid involving external services and would prefer a native Zendesk solution. They attempted a Liquid-based HTML parser within the webhook, which partially works but exceeds webhook size limits.
Feature request is to explore whether:
- A webhook placeholder could expose the raw
html_body, or - A supported native alternative could allow webhooks to include fully rendered HTML for public comments in the future.
Thanks for taking a look.
