Fix 'Valid Email Address' Error in Zendesk Signup

Learn why you get a 'Please enter a valid email address' error when signing up for Zendesk and how to fix it.

Why am I getting a 'Please enter a valid email address' error when signing up for Zendesk?

This error usually occurs when using a generic email address. When signing up for a new Zendesk account, you might encounter an error message saying 'Please enter a valid email address.' This often happens if you're trying to use an email with prefixes like support@, info@, or help@, which are not allowed. These types of emails are considered generic and not personal. To resolve this, use a unique, personal email address that you will use to log into your account. Once your account is created, you can set up a support address for customer contact.
