How Zendesk Prioritizes Support Tickets

How does Zendesk prioritize support tickets based on urgency?

Zendesk prioritizes support tickets by assessing the business impact level you select when creating a ticket.

Critical issues, like those preventing you from using Zendesk, are prioritized at the top of the queue. Level 1 and 2 issues receive live responses, while Level 3 and 4 issues are addressed via email. This ensures that the most critical issues are resolved first.
