Why 'Any channel' is Misleading in Zendesk Reports

Understand why the term 'Any channel' might be misleading in Zendesk reports and what it actually includes.

Why is 'Any channel' considered misleading in Zendesk?

'Any channel' can be misleading because it doesn't include all channels. It specifically refers to tickets from certain social media platforms if the Zendesk Agent Workspace isn't enabled. Users might assume it covers all channels, but it only includes Facebook Messenger, X Corp DM, WhatsApp, LINE, and WeChat.

This naming can cause confusion, as noted by users who suggest alternative names like 'Social Media' for clarity.
