Ending Your Shift in Zendesk Talk: Set Status to Offline

Ensure a smooth end to your shift in Zendesk Talk by setting your status to Offline. Avoid call routing delays for customers.

What should I do when ending my shift in Zendesk Talk?

When ending your shift in Zendesk Talk, it's important to set your Talk state to Offline. This prevents calls from being routed to you after your shift ends. If you remain online, calls will continue to be routed to you, and if unanswered, customers will experience a delay before being routed to another agent. Note that Talk does not automatically set agents offline, but admins can do so in the Talk dashboard for Team, Professional, and Enterprise plans.
