Reason for Zendesk's New Account Groups API

Discover why Zendesk launched the Account Groups Availability API to simplify monitoring and reporting on agent status and capacity.

Why did Zendesk introduce the Account Groups Availability API?

Zendesk introduced the Account Groups Availability API to simplify the process of monitoring and reporting on agent status and capacity. Previously, users had to gather this information on a per-agent basis, which was time-consuming and required significant effort. The new API provides a group-level view, making it easier to obtain and analyze this data efficiently.

This change was made in response to user feedback, aiming to reduce the development effort needed to access these metrics.
