Holiday Trigger - help

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version: 7.0.1-1776265154.aa2a8181.jammy
  • Used Zammad installation type: package
  • Operating system: Ubuntu Jammy
  • Browser + version: Firefox

Can anyone help me understand why this trigger is not working as I’d expect it to?

Requirement: All emails that are coming in between now and Friday evening should be replied to with the same message (holiday message).

My trigger (selective):

  • Match all (AND)
    • Type is email
    • Sender is Customer
    • Updated at - after (absolute) - 29.04.2026 17:00 (that was 7 hours ago from now)
    • Updated at - before (absolute) - 01.05.2026 17:00 (that’s tomorrow evening)
    • Match any (OR)
      • Action is created
      • Action is updated

I sent 10 test emails from my private email address (set as customer), none of them would trigger a reply. I tried removing the second updated at condition, no change. I tried switching from selective to always, no change. I tried entirely removing the OR clause with the two actions, no change.

Triggers generally work, though.

What am I missing?
