Understanding Autoreplies in Zendesk Web Forms

Learn how Zendesk's autoreplies suggest articles in web forms to help users self-solve issues quickly.

How do autoreplies work in Zendesk web forms?

Autoreplies in Zendesk web forms suggest relevant articles to users. When a user submits a support request through a web form, they receive up to three suggested articles that might help them solve their issue. This happens through an automated pop-up window that appears immediately after submission.

In this pop-up, users can preview articles, view them in a new tab, or indicate if the article solved their problem. If the suggested articles don't help, users can continue with their support request. If no relevant articles are found, the pop-up won't appear. For more details, check theoriginal documentation.
