Challenges with Historical Ticket Reporting in Zendesk

Discover the challenges of reporting on historical tickets in Zendesk, including limitations with the 'Received At' attribute.

What are the challenges with reporting on historical tickets in Zendesk?

Reporting on historical tickets in Zendesk can be challenging due to the lack of certain attributes, like 'Received At', in Explore. This limitation means that users cannot easily track the original email address for tickets over time. Many users have expressed frustration over this, as it complicates the analysis of past support interactions.

Some users have resorted to using the API to export data and create reports externally, but this is not an ideal solution. Zendesk is aware of the demand for this feature, and users are encouraged to upvote related feature requests.
