Limitations of Zendesk's Auto-Accept Feature

Understand the limitations of Zendesk's auto-accept feature, including compatibility issues with certain routing modes.

What are the limitations of Zendesk's auto-accept feature?

Zendesk's auto-accept feature has a few limitations that users should be aware of. It is not compatible with the Broadcast mode of routing and does not support reassignment capabilities.

Additionally, if Hybrid mode is activated, the agent experience may be impacted, as the Accept button will reappear when a set chat limit is exceeded. These limitations mean that while auto-accept can streamline processes, it may not be suitable for all routing configurations.
