Bulk Delete Spam Tickets in Zendesk: A Complete Guide
How can I bulk delete spam tickets in Zendesk?
You can bulk delete spam tickets in Zendesk using several methods. Each method has its own limitations, so choose the one that best fits your workflow.
You can use the bulk delete feature in views, which allows you to delete up to 100 tickets at a time. Alternatively, you can mark tickets as spam, which also suspends the requester. Automations can close tickets, removing them from live queues, but not delete them. The Zendesk API can be used for bulk deletion, though it requires developer resources.
