Adding New External Users to Zendesk Tickets

Discover the steps to add new external users to Zendesk tickets and improve workflow.

What is the process for adding a new external user to a Zendesk ticket?

Adding a new external user to a Zendesk ticket can be a bit cumbersome. When a customer adds a new person as CC via email, the agent must manually notice this addition. The agent then needs to copy the email address to the CC list, click 'Add User', and fill in the email address and name again. Ideally, Zendesk would remember the new user's address and make it easier to add them to the conversation.
