Advantages of Using Side Conversations

Discover the benefits of using side conversations in Zendesk, including better organization and targeted discussions.

What are the advantages of using side conversations?

Side conversations offer several advantages, such as organizing and managing information about specific parts of an issue and having conversations with the right people without cluttering the main ticket.

They allow for multiple standalone conversations, making it easier to find specific questions, answers, and replies. This feature is particularly useful for getting outside help without directly involving others in the main ticket.
