Ticket Re-entry in Zendesk Queues
Can a ticket re-enter a queue after being assigned to an agent?
No, once a ticket is assigned to an agent from a queue, it cannot re-enter the queue.
If the ticket is reassigned to another group or agent, the reassignment takes effect immediately without the ticket going back into the queue. This ensures that tickets are handled efficiently and do not get stuck in the queueing process.
