How can I set up automatic email archiving in Zendesk?

You can set up automatic email archiving in Zendesk by configuring a BCC address for all outbound email notifications. This feature allows you to maintain an archive of customer communications outside of Zendesk. To set this up, go to the Admin Center, click on 'Objects and rules' in the sidebar, then select 'Tickets > Settings'. In the 'Email Archiving' section, enter an external email address where you want the emails to be archived. Remember to click 'Save' to apply the changes. Note that free email accounts like Gmail or Yahoo are not recommended due to their rate limits. For more details, check theoriginal link.
