Limitations of WhatsApp Ticket Routing in Zendesk

Understand the limitations of routing WhatsApp tickets in Zendesk, especially with multiple numbers under one brand.

What are the limitations of routing WhatsApp tickets in Zendesk?

A key limitation when routing WhatsApp tickets in Zendesk is the inability to distinguish between multiple WhatsApp numbers under the same brand.

While you can assign each WhatsApp number to a different brand for routing and reporting, if you have several numbers within the same brand, Zendesk does not provide a way to differentiate between them. This means that all tickets from those numbers will be treated the same way in terms of routing.
