Preventing Future Zendesk Messaging Errors
What steps did Zendesk take to prevent future messaging errors?
To prevent future messaging errors, Zendesk took several remediation steps. They reassessed and refined their customer grouping process to ensure it accurately includes payment status. Additionally, they confirmed that the information used to identify customers' payment methods is correct and up-to-date. Zendesk also strengthened their update procedures with better checks and reviews before and after changes go live, and introduced alerts to quickly identify and rectify any future issues with customer messaging.
