Choosing Social Messaging in Zendesk
Why choose social messaging for customer interactions?
Social messaging is ideal for long-running or complex issues that aren't time-sensitive, allowing for ongoing conversations over an extended period.
This style is beneficial for issues like disputes or medical discussions, where customers can continue their conversation with the same agent without waiting in a queue. It supports a series of interactions over time, with tickets remaining open for up to 28 days, providing a seamless experience for both customers and agents.
