Apply Incoming Email Priority in Zendesk

Understand how Zendesk handles priority settings from incoming emails and how to manage ticket priorities.

Can Zendesk apply email priority settings from incoming emails?

Zendesk does not automatically apply priority settings from incoming emails sent by end users. The priority of a ticket must be manually updated within Zendesk.

If customers mark their emails as urgent, this setting is not recognized by Zendesk. However, you can create a trigger to adjust the priority based on specific conditions.
