Merging Shared Tickets in Zendesk

Understand why shared tickets in Zendesk cannot be merged and the implications for ticket management.

Can I merge shared tickets in Zendesk?

No, shared tickets in Zendesk cannot be merged with other tickets. Each shared ticket becomes a new ticket in the receiver's account with a separate ticket ID, and merging is not supported.

This limitation ensures that the integrity of the ticket sharing process is maintained, as merging could disrupt the syncing of ticket statuses, comments, and custom fields between accounts.
