Hello,

Need ability to trigger an action when someone comments an article.  Any basic trigger action at all - such as trigger an email.

"Moderation" of articles is misleading - there is no real moderation available on Help Center (seems to apply primarily to community).

Ultimately, we need a comment to simply generate a ticket (even if it has to use a Zendesk email address email-to-ticket trigger). 

There are no basic triggers available at all.

Hey Kristyn,
 
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. This has been logged for our PM team to review. As you linked articles and community posts on this feature area I want to reiterate that you can create a ticket when someone comments on an article however if you would like it automatically, then what we have mentioned in the past is that it is possible to custom build it and they can talk to services to get that done. For others who may be interested in this feature request, please add your support by upvoting this post and/or adding your use case to the comments below. Thank you again!

This would be great to have, but I think could work better if the first comment triggered a ticket, with additional comments within that same article going into that same ticket. If that ticket was closed, a new comment would trigger an additional ticket, with the tickets linked.

This feature would enable us to better track and action on agent feedback for internal knowledge base articles with less steps for the agent/commenter.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback here. I understand the request however at this time we are not able to commit to prioritizing this feedback. 
 
There is a workaround to achieve what you want; you can use a Zendesk webhook to set up a custom trigger. When creating a new webhook, you can select the 'Article comment created' event, and set up an API trigger to email, Slack or other parties of your preference. 
 
At this time we are going to close this post for comment and mark it as “Not Planned”. If you are interested in learning more about this and other features being built please make sure to check out our Community events and Zendesk Updates. Thank you again for your feedback and we appreciate you being a valuable Zendesk Community member.
