Avoiding Agent Collision in Zendesk

Learn how to prevent agent collision in Zendesk with visual cues and collision details for smooth ticket management.

How do I avoid agent collision in Zendesk?

Agent collision in Zendesk occurs when multiple agents work on the same ticket simultaneously. To avoid this, Zendesk provides visual cues like an eye icon next to tickets being viewed by another agent. Within a ticket, you can see collision details in the upper left corner, indicating how other agents are interacting with the ticket. This helps prevent conflicting updates and ensures smooth ticket management.
