Why Zendesk Introduced App Shortcuts

Discover the reasons behind Zendesk's introduction of app shortcuts to improve agent efficiency and response times.

Why did Zendesk introduce app shortcuts?

Zendesk introduced app shortcuts to enhance agent efficiency by providing direct access to frequently used apps. This change addresses the challenge of navigating a long list of apps, which can slow down response times.

With app shortcuts, agents can personalize their workspace by adding shortcuts to the apps they use most often. This feature reduces the need for searching or scrolling, allowing agents to focus more on their tasks and less on navigating the interface.
