Limitations of Ticket Sharing in Zendesk

Explore the limitations of ticket sharing in Zendesk, including restrictions on closed tickets and user information.

What are the limitations of ticket sharing in Zendesk?

Ticket sharing in Zendesk has several limitations to be aware of. For instance, tickets in the Closed status cannot be shared, and call recordings in shared tickets can only be accessed by agents of the original account. Additionally, shared tickets do not pass on user information like email addresses or phone numbers.

Other limitations include the inability to merge shared tickets, the suppression of automatic email notifications, and the creation of placeholder users in the receiving account. These limitations are designed to maintain the integrity and security of the ticket sharing process.
