Send vs. Submit in Zendesk: What's the Difference?

Learn the difference between 'Send' and 'Submit' in Zendesk to effectively manage live chats, emails, and ticket updates.

What is the difference between Send and Submit in Zendesk?

In Zendesk, 'Send' and 'Submit' serve different purposes depending on the type of communication.

During live chats or messaging conversations, you use 'Send' (or press Return) to send your reply instantly. On the other hand, 'Submit' is used to send an email or save other changes to a ticket. This distinction helps streamline the process of managing different types of communications within the Zendesk Agent Workspace.
