Each transition can have conditions, required fields, mandatory actions, and approval requirements that must be satisfied before the move is allowed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Configuring Transitions<\/h2>\n<p>Transitions are the arrows between states in a Blueprint. Each transition is given a label like &#8216;Mark as Resolved&#8217; or &#8216;Escalate to Manager&#8217;. Administrators configure who can trigger each transition, what fields must be filled, and what automated actions fire when the transition executes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Before and After Transition Actions<\/h2>\n<p>Before Transition actions run before the state changes, such as sending a notification or requiring a field to be filled. After Transition actions run once the state changes, such as sending an email to the customer or updating a custom field automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Transition Approvals<\/h2>\n<p>Transitions can require approval from a designated agent or manager before completing. For example, the transition &#8216;Issue Refund&#8217; might require a finance manager&#8217;s approval in Zoho Desk before the ticket state changes to &#8216;Refund Processed&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> A warranty management team&#8217;s Blueprint has a transition called &#8216;Approve Replacement&#8217;. Before this transition, the agent must fill the replacement part number field. After approval by the warehouse manager, the ticket moves to &#8216;Replacement Dispatched&#8217; state automatically.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/blueprint-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Blueprint (Desk)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/blueprint-state-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Blueprint State (Desk)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/workflow-action-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Workflow Action (Desk)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/macro-zoho-desk\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Macro<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is a Blueprint Transition in Zoho Desk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Blueprint transition is the step that moves a ticket from one state to another within a Blueprint.
