Explaining 'Pending' Ticket Status in Zendesk

Discover how the 'Pending' status in Zendesk helps manage tickets awaiting customer information, streamlining your support process.

How does the 'Pending' ticket status work in Zendesk?

The 'Pending' ticket status in Zendesk is used when you are waiting for more information from the requester before you can proceed with solving the ticket.

This status is helpful for moving tickets off your immediate attention list while ensuring they are not forgotten. It acts as a reminder that the ticket is not yet solved but requires input from the customer to move forward. This helps in organizing your workflow and keeping track of tickets that are awaiting customer response.
