Handling Name Mismatches in Zendesk

Learn how Zendesk notifies agents of name mismatches in pre-chat forms and user profiles.

What happens if there's a name mismatch in Zendesk's pre-chat form?

If there's a name mismatch in Zendesk's pre-chat form, a yellow notification will appear in the customer context. This notification alerts agents that some contact details provided in the conversation don't match the user profile.

The notification will specify what is different, such as the user's name. This feature helps agents quickly identify discrepancies and ensure that the correct user information is being used. For more information, refer to the originalZendesk article.
