Resolve Assigned Email Address Issues in Zendesk

Learn how to fix issues with email addresses already assigned in Zendesk.

What should I do if an email address is already assigned in Zendesk?

If an email address is already assigned, it might be linked to an existing user account. This often happens when an email from that address creates a ticket, automatically generating a user account. To resolve this, search for the email in your Support Dashboard, go to the 'users' tab, and either change the email address or remove the account. For more details, see the article on best practices for removing agents.
