How do I add a comment to a Zoho Desk ticket?

Short answer: You can add comment in Zoho Desk by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Zoho Desk Add Comment action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
