Why Do Zendesk Tickets Auto-Assign to One Group?

Learn why your Zendesk tickets might auto-assign to one group and how to manage it effectively.

Why do my Zendesk tickets auto-assign to one group?

Tickets in Zendesk might auto-assign to one group for several reasons. If you only have one group set up in your account, all tickets will automatically assign to that group. To prevent this, you can create a dummy group, but this won't work if you only have one agent. If you have multiple groups, a business rule might be auto-assigning the ticket to a specific group. Check the ticket events to see if this is the case. Additionally, organization mapping might be causing the auto-assignment if a group is selected in the Group field for users in that organization. To stop this, set the field value to null.

For more details, you can refer to the originalZendesk article.
