Impact on Sell Users When Connecting to Zendesk

Understand how connecting your Sell account to Zendesk products affects user roles and access, and how to manage these changes.

What happens to Sell users when connecting to other Zendesk products?

When you connect your Sell account to other Zendesk products like Chat or Support, Sell users are listed as Contributor Agents in Zendesk Support. Contributor Agents can view some tickets and add internal notes but do not occupy a paid seat in Support.

If you downgrade these Contributor Agents to End Users, they will lose access to Zendesk Sell. To reactivate a user in Zendesk Sell, a Sell Admin must navigate to Sell > Settings > Users > Pending actions. This integration ensures that your team can collaborate effectively across different Zendesk products.
