Live Chat with Returning Customer in Zendesk

Discover how the live chat with a returning customer style in Zendesk allows ongoing conversations without new tickets.

What is the live chat with a returning customer style?

The live chat with a returning customer style allows a ticket to remain open for a set period after being marked as Solved, enabling customers to continue the conversation without starting a new ticket.

This style is similar to live chat but offers a gap between solving and closing a ticket. If a customer returns during this period, the ticket reopens, allowing the conversation to continue. This approach is beneficial for businesses where customers may have follow-up queries, as it reduces the need for customers to re-explain their issues and improves agent efficiency.
