Why Email Reverts When Updating in Zendesk

Understand why emails revert when updating in Zendesk and how to properly change the primary email.

Why does the email revert when I try to update it in Zendesk?

The email reverts to the verified address because Zendesk requires verification for changes.

When you attempt to edit a verified email, it automatically reverts to the verified one. To change the primary email, you must add a new email as a secondary, verify it, and then set it as the primary email address. This ensures that all email addresses are verified before being used as primary.
