Understanding the Email Channel in Zendesk Support
How does the email channel work in Zendesk Support?
The email channel in Zendesk Support is a core component of customer service interactions. When a customer sends an email to your support address, a ticket is automatically created in Zendesk Support. The customer receives an automated email notification confirming receipt of their request. This ticket is then added to the queue and can be assigned to an agent or group based on your business rules. Throughout the support process, both customers and agents receive email notifications about updates and actions taken on the ticket.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the originalZendesk guide.
