Discover how to make outbound calls from existing Zendesk tickets, including number selection and line configuration.

Can I make an outbound call from an existing ticket in Zendesk?

Yes, you can make an outbound call directly from an existing ticket in Zendesk. This feature allows you to initiate a call from any ticket that isn't closed, even if it wasn't created by an incoming call.

To do this, open the ticket and use the channel switcher menu in the message composer to select 'Call' or 'Call Enter a number'. You can then either use the displayed number or manually enter a new one. The Talk console will open, allowing you to edit the outgoing number or change the outbound phone line. The country code will automatically adjust to match the number you're calling. When ready, click 'Call' to start the call.
