Agent Experience with Contextual Workspaces

Learn about the agent experience with contextual workspaces in Zendesk, providing relevant tools and flexibility for ticket handling.

What is the agent experience with contextual workspaces?

Once a contextual workspace is activated and its conditions are met, agents will see ticket features that match the workspace definition. This means they will have access to the relevant macros, forms, and apps needed for the ticket they are working on.

Agents can still search for and apply other macros or forms if needed, as workspaces are designed for recommendations, not restrictions. This flexibility ensures that agents can adapt to different ticket scenarios while having the tools they need readily available.
