Preventing Automatic Addition of Followers in Zendesk
Can I prevent the automatic addition of followers in Zendesk?
While you can't fully prevent the automatic addition of followers in Zendesk, you can control it by adjusting settings and permissions.
To minimize automatic follower additions, disable the 'Automatically make an agent CC a follower' setting, review triggers and automations to ensure they don't add followers, and customize roles to restrict who can add followers. These steps can help you maintain better control over ticket notifications, though complete prevention might not be possible due to system behaviors.
