Understanding Zendesk Customer Portal Ticket Statuses

Learn about the user-friendly ticket statuses in Zendesk's customer portal, including Open, Awaiting your reply, and Solved.

What are the customer portal ticket statuses in Zendesk?

In Zendesk, the customer portal ticket statuses are designed to be user-friendly. They include 'Open' for requests being worked on, 'Awaiting your reply' when the support team is waiting for a response, and 'Solved' for resolved requests.

These statuses are displayed under the Status column in the My activities section of the help center. They differ slightly from the agent-facing statuses to make more sense from the end-user's perspective. For more details, you can check the originalZendesk article.
