Zendesk Support Ticket Channels Explained

Learn about the various channels for creating Zendesk Support tickets, including email, forms, calls, chats, and social media.

What are the different channels for creating Zendesk Support tickets?

Zendesk Support offers multiple channels for customers to reach out for help. These include email, support request forms on your Zendesk portal or your own website, phone calls, text chats, tweets, and Facebook posts. All these communication methods are referred to as channels, and you can choose which ones to enable in your Zendesk account.

By enabling these channels, you ensure that all customer support requests are captured as Zendesk Support tickets. This allows you to manage and track all interactions with your customers efficiently. Additionally, you can expand your communication options by integrating apps that connect with popular services like Salesforce, JIRA, and SugarCRM. For more details, check out theoriginal link.
