Understanding Flagged Ticket Replies in Zendesk

Learn why ticket replies are flagged in Zendesk and how this helps maintain security in your support system.

Why are some ticket replies flagged in Zendesk?

Ticket replies are flagged in Zendesk when there's a mismatch between the From and Reply-to addresses, especially if the Reply-to address belongs to an agent. This flagging is a security measure to alert administrators of potential issues.

A warning icon appears on the ticket in the UI, providing more information when hovered over. However, the ticket is not flagged in any ticket views, only in the ticket interface. This helps maintain security while allowing administrators to address the issue promptly.
