Troubleshooting Zendesk Welcome Emails Not Sending

Learn why welcome emails aren't sending in Zendesk and how to fix it by activating your help center and adjusting settings.

Why aren't welcome emails sending when I create new customers in Zendesk?

If welcome emails aren't sending when you create new customers in Zendesk, it might be due to your help center not being active. When the help center is inactive, only agents receive the welcome email, not the customers.

To resolve this, ensure that your help center is active. Additionally, in the Admin Center, you should select the option to 'Also send a verification email when a new user is created by an agent or administrator.' This setting ensures that new users receive the welcome email. For more detailed steps, you can refer to theoriginal Zendesk article.
