Understanding the Delegator Role in Zendesk

Discover the role of a delegator in Zendesk for WordPress and how it facilitates anonymous ticket submissions.

What is the role of a delegator in Zendesk for WordPress?

The delegator in Zendesk for WordPress acts as a bridge for anonymous ticket submissions.

When you allow anonymous users to submit support requests, a delegator is needed to submit these requests on their behalf. This role is typically assigned to an existing administrator or agent who is also a user on your WordPress site. The delegator logs in via the Zendesk Support widget to authenticate their account, enabling them to submit requests under the hood using the Zendesk API. Importantly, anonymous requesters are unaware of this process, ensuring a seamless experience.
