Handling Customer-Reported Issues at Zendesk

Find out how Zendesk evaluates and manages customer-reported service issues.

How are customer-reported issues handled by Zendesk?

Customer-reported issues are carefully evaluated by the Zendesk Customer Support team to determine the appropriate course of action.

If the issue is part of an existing service incident, the customer's ticket is linked to that incident, and they are informed of the status. For new issues, a service incident is created based on severity, and updates are provided. If the issue isn't related to a service incident, standard troubleshooting is followed to resolve or escalate the problem.
