Understanding the Zendesk Time Tracking App

Learn how the Zendesk Time Tracking app helps track time spent on customer service interactions and create insightful reports.

What is the Zendesk Time Tracking app and how does it work?

The Zendesk Time Tracking app helps support managers track the time spent on customer service interactions. It records the time spent on each ticket update and stores this data with the ticket.

You can measure time spent per ticket, known as ticket handling time, or per update, known as update handling time. These metrics can be used to create reports in Zendesk Explore, providing insights into agent performance and workflow efficiency. To use these features, the Time Tracking app must be installed and configured. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
