Customer Emails to Zendesk Support Address

Learn what happens when a customer emails your Zendesk support address and how tickets are created.

What happens when a customer emails my Zendesk support address?

When a customer sends an email to your Zendesk support address, a ticket is automatically created in Zendesk Support. This ticket will have the support address set as the recipient, and any replies will be sent from this address. For instance, if a customer emails help@acme.zendesk.com, the reply will also come from help@acme.zendesk.com. This ensures a consistent communication channel for your customers.

To get a better understanding of what your customers will see, Zendesk provides a preview pane when you add a support address. This helps you visualize the end-user experience and make any necessary adjustments. For more details, you can check theoriginal Zendesk documentation.
