Avoid Using Group Emails for Zendesk Support

Learn why using distribution lists or group emails for Zendesk support is not recommended.

Why can't I use a distribution list or group email to contact Zendesk?

Using a distribution list, alias, or group email to contact Zendesk is not recommended because these addresses don't allow you to reply to Zendesk notifications. For efficient communication and to avoid additional identity verification, your profile's email must be a dedicated inbox.

Ensure your primary email address is a reachable and dedicated email to expedite your requests with Zendesk support agents.
