Understanding Custom Ticket Statuses in Zendesk
What are custom ticket statuses in Zendesk?
Custom ticket statuses in Zendesk allow admins to create unique statuses for tickets beyond the default system statuses. This feature, launched in mid-January 2023, enables more tailored ticket management.
With custom ticket statuses, each status is assigned to a system status category like new, open, pending, on hold, or solved. This ensures compatibility with existing Zendesk Support apps, preventing any disruptions. For more details, check out theoriginal Zendesk article.
