Using Allowlist and Blocklist in Zendesk

Understand how to use the allowlist and blocklist in Zendesk to control email domain access for ticket submissions.

How do the allowlist and blocklist work in Zendesk?

The allowlist and blocklist in Zendesk are tools to control which email domains can register and submit support requests. They help in managing access by specifying which domains are allowed or blocked.

After enabling the 'Anyone can submit tickets' option, the allowlist and blocklist settings become available. You can use these lists to define which email domains are permitted to submit requests and which are not. This feature is crucial for maintaining control over who can access your support system and submit tickets.
