Add customer device as an attribute in Explore for reportingFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] (2-3 sentences)We'd like the ability to report on the device a customer used (e.g., iOS, Android, web/desktop) as a dedicated attribute in Explore. Right now there's no clean way to capture and report on this at scale. What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) It would let us accurately measure ticket and conversation volume by device, so we can quickly spot platform-specific issues and trends. This gives us a much clearer picture of the customer experience per device.When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)We were affected recently when we ran into an authentication issue and wanted to understand its impact per device, but we had no native way to pull that data in Explore.  Without a proper device attribute, we can't reliably measure how issues like this affect customers on each platform, which limits our ability to prioritize fixes and allocate resources effectively. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)None What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)Simply add the customer's device as an attribute in Explore, since it's already visible per ticket in the workspace. That way we could easily filter and group any report or dashboard by device out of the box. 

Duplicate Action FlowsAccepted

Current behaviorToday, after creating an Action Flow, we can update, deactivate, or delete it — but we cannot clone it.From what we’ve experienced (and as noted in the product ecosystem), Action Flows also have limitations such as:No option to duplicate an entire flow from the Action Flows list No option to copy/paste steps within a flow or across branches When logic is repeated across branches (e.g. notify Slack, call an external API, update ticket fields), the same steps must be configured again manuallyThis becomes especially painful for flows with many steps, conditions, API integrations, and mapped inputs/outputs. Desired behaviorPlease add the ability to: Duplicate / clone an Action Flow from Admin Center (similar to other Zendesk objects) Creates a copy with a suffix like (Copy) in the name Copy should include trigger, steps, branches, and configuration Copied flow should start as inactive by default (safer rollout) Duplicate individual steps inside the Action Builder Copy a step within the same branch Optionally paste into another branch (Nice to have) Export / import Action Flow definitions (JSON) for backup, migration, and sandbox → production promotion Use Cases1. Variants of the same processWe often need nearly identical flows for different scenarios (e.g. marketplace, region, brand, or ticket type) with only small differences in conditions or field mappings. Cloning would let us create a baseline flow and adjust only what changes.2. Faster iteration and testingWhen experimenting with new automation logic, we could clone a production flow into a test version instead of rebuilding it from scratch.3. Reduced human errorManual recreation increases the risk of missing steps, misconfigured API mappings, or broken variable references — especially in flows with external integrations.4. Better scalabilityAs Action Flows replace or complement triggers and other automation, teams will build more of them. Without duplication, maintenance cost grows linearly with every similar workflow.5. Consistency with other Zendesk featuresOther areas of the product already support cloning (for example, recent improvements to task lists include clone functionality). Action Flows would benefit from the same pattern.

Easily add attachment from side conversation to main ticket.Feedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue. We are requesting a native button or "one-click" action to move attachments directly from a Side Conversation into the main Zendesk ticket interface. This issue primarily affects Agents who must coordinate with external vendors or internal departments and then relay those specific files back to the Customer.What problem do you see this solving? This solves the friction of siloed information by allowing agents to seamlessly bridge the gap between internal collaboration and external customer support. It eliminates the risk of human error and data loss that occurs when manually handling files between interfaces.When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? This issue affects our team daily, most recently this morning when an agent had to download a dozen technical logs from a developer via Side Conversation just to re-upload them to the end user. Because this happens dozens of times a week across the department, it creates a significant "click-tax" that slows down our Resolution Time (MTTR). This inefficiency prevents us from maintaining a lean workflow and creates unnecessary storage clutter on agent local machines.Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? Yes, agents currently have to download the file from the Side Conversation to their local computer and then manually drag-and-drop it back into the main ticket comment.What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? The ideal solution would be a "Copy to Ticket" option within the attachment dropdown menu in a Side Conversation. When clicked, the file would automatically appear in the main ticket's attachment composer or be added to the ticket's "Events" log for easy selection.  

Allow Help Center Form Fields to Populate Requester NamesFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] (2-3 sentences)We use Zendesk Help Center forms that can be submitted without requiring customers to log in. Our forms include a custom field where customers enter their full name, but Zendesk currently ignores this information when creating a new end user profile and instead uses the first part of the email address as the user name.This affects our support agents, admins, and customers. Agents have to manually correct user profiles, administrators cannot configure a better experience, and customer records often contain incomplete or inaccurate names. What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences)Allowing a Help Center form field to populate the requester's name would ensure that user profiles are created with accurate customer information from the beginning. This would eliminate manual profile maintenance and improve data quality across Zendesk. When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)We are affected by this issue every day because our Help Center form is heavily used by customers. Whenever a new customer submits a request, Zendesk creates the user profile using the first part of the email address rather than the name entered in the form.As a result, our agents regularly see requester names such as "john123", "info", or other non-descriptive values instead of the customer's actual name. This creates additional manual work, makes customer identification more difficult, and reduces the overall quality of our customer data. Over time, this leads to hundreds of user profiles that require manual correction and impacts the efficiency of our support team. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)Yes. Our agents manually update the end user's profile when they notice an incorrect or incomplete name. However, this is time-consuming, depends on agent awareness, and is not scalable given the volume of requests we receive. What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)Our ideal solution would be the ability to map a Help Center form field to the requester's name when a new user profile is created. Zendesk would automatically use the value entered in the designated name field instead of generating the profile name from the email address, ensuring accurate user data from the first interaction.

Side conversation pop-up alertsFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] (2-3 sentences)We need the ability to disable or manage the pop-up notifications that appear in Agent Workspace whenever a side conversation is updated. We recently rolled out a ticket escalation process built on side conversations, and our support agents are now constantly interrupted by these pop-ups with no admin option to turn them off. This affects all our support agents day-to-day, and admins who have no controls available to address the complaints. What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences)It would give admins control over notification behaviour in Agent Workspace, allowing teams that make heavy use of side conversations to do so without disrupting agents with unwanted pop-ups. When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)This is affecting us daily, every time a side conversation is updated — which since our new escalation process launched is multiple times per hour, per agent. Agents are interrupted mid-task by pop-ups for side conversation updates that don't require their immediate attention, breaking their focus and generating repeated complaints to our admin team. We raised this with Zendesk support and were told there is no option to manage or disable these notifications. The impact is reduced agent productivity and pushback against a process that otherwise works well for us. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)No — Zendesk support confirmed there is no setting or workaround to disable these pop-ups, so agents simply have to dismiss them manually each time!!!! What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)An admin-level setting (or per-agent preference) to disable or configure side conversation update pop-ups in Agent Workspace — ideally with granularity, e.g. suppress pop-ups but keep the notification badge/list, so agents can still see updates without being interrupted.

Add Audit Log, Change History, and Version Control for Quality Assurance AI ConfigurationFeedback submitted

Hi team,The Quality Assurance AI module currently allows administrators to configure and manage AI-based scoring and prompt-based AI Insights. However, there is no visible audit trail or revision history that records configuration changes.Organizations need to understand:Who created an AI Insight Who modified an AI Insight When modifications occurred What changed between revisions Which version was active at a given point in time Whether a configuration was deleted or restoredCurrently, administrators appear to be limited to viewing the existing configuration without any historical traceability.Why this mattersAI-related configurations directly influence quality evaluations and operational outcomes. Without auditability:Change management cannot be effectively controlled. Root cause analysis becomes difficult when AI behavior changes. Internal audit requirements cannot be satisfied. Compliance teams cannot verify accountability. Organizations operating in regulated environments face governance challenges.This is particularly important given the increasing focus on AI governance and accountability requirements, including frameworks such as the EU AI Act.Requested EnhancementIntroduce enterprise-grade auditability for Quality Assurance AI configurations:Created by Last modified by Timestamped change history Complete revision history Version comparison Rollback capability Deletion tracking Exportable audit records Visibility through Zendesk Audit LogsIdeal ExperienceThe functionality should mirror the Revision History currently available for Triggers and other configuration objects, allowing administrators to see who changed what, when, and to review previous versions of AI-related configurations.Business ValueThis enhancement would significantly improve governance, accountability, compliance readiness, troubleshooting, and operational transparency for customers using AI-powered Quality Assurance features.Thank you!

Promps Summary or RealignementFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] (2-3 sentences)Hello, I started to work with AI prompting and try to use it in Action Builders, AI Agents, App Builders..As you know, AI needs a lot of test before beeing set in production, and some tests means review a prompt (add a new instruction) trying to optimise Agent Behaviour. What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences)The problem I meet is that on some complex AI Agents with a lot of prompts, at some time the systems start to hallucinate or the new addings I put are not fully applied.To solve this issue, maybe an option may be to have a feature that can “Reprompt” in one unique prompt all the work done, or something like : what is the simplest prompt to arrive to this result. This simplest can be then used to go deeper in the project.. When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? (3-4 sentences)some days ago with all AI I tested (Chat Gpt, Claude, Zendesk…, Copilot..). At a point, it seems easier not to continue to argue with the AI but to restart from scratch with the experience learned in first issues. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)I tried sometimes to copy paste all my prompts in our AI internal solution to get a clean prompt, but not working smoothly. What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)As I told maybe a capacity for AI to look in the app or agent built by prompting and from this reconstrut the simplest prompt to arrive to the same result.  

Zendesk View - Tickets Per PageAccepted

Hello, I would like the option to show 30, 60, or 90 tickets per page, that I can see more tickets per page. Your documentation says you don't allow more than 30.  For instance if I get one more ticket above 30, I will constantly be checking page 2. I would like to see things on one page. When https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4409506839962-Views-Best-Practice talks about this issue, it says spreading things across multiple pages = "Consequently, you are unlikely to review all the results." Yes, but it goes on to say "If you find you that you routinely only look at a subset of tickets, consider refining the view's conditions to restrict results and simplify the query." So, the solution to having multiple pages of tickets in one view is to cut a bunch of tickets out of the view and use more views............... this is not how I prefer to manage tickets across multiple views. Essentially, because the ticket status would be the same across most, you're saying we should tag tickets and put them into other views. This is leaving room for us to make the mistake, to not tag properly when these tickets really do not need to be sorted into other views. We just need to see them. Thank you very much for your support.   [Update - 07/19/22], I have been seeing your replies, thank you for your posterity. No, there has been no update or reply by Zendesk or the Development Team. I did have luck creating a view with unassigned tickets at the top, and excluding on-hold tickets, which are mainly projects we don't have the time to address anyways. This helped us fit most of our work into one page, but if we were larger or had more than 4 Agents it would still be a problem for us. I did Google the question to see if any progress was made, and I came across this. There could be a way to return Ticket views using an API. This is above my pay grade but using a cursor based pagination sounds like the thing. According to Zendesk 100 is the true max per page in "Support".  Perhaps you could implement the URL parameter using dashboard customization: https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408839321754-Customizing-dashboards-with-URL-parameters Our plan is Team, so I don't think we are eligible for this feature, and I had no luck trying it in a browser. https://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/developer-tools/pagination/paginating-through-lists/ To use cursor-based pagination, you must include a page[size] query parameter. Example: https://example.zendesk.com/api/v2/users.json?page[size]=100

PRODUCT FEEDBACK: Subscription Page Renewal Date Visibility and Renewal NotificationsFeedback submitted

Hi Team,The Zendesk Subscription page currently displays only the subscription term (e.g. "1 year") and does not provide visibility of the exact contract renewal date. It also does not indicate the deadline by which customers must notify Zendesk about subscription changes such as seat reductions, product removals, or subscription downgrades. This primarily affects Zendesk Admins, Account Owners, and other stakeholders responsible for subscription and license management.Providing this information directly within Zendesk would reduce the need for manual cross-checking and help administrators and account owners better manage contract renewals and subscription changes. It would also reduce the risk of missing important contractual notice deadlines.This issue arises whenever we need to review our subscription ahead of a contract renewal and determine whether any adjustments to seats or products are required. Because the Subscription page only displays the subscription term, the actual renewal date and any relevant notice deadlines are not readily visible. The information must be verified separately, creating additional administrative effort. This can lead to unnecessary time spent cross-checking renewal information and increases the risk of missing deadlines for subscription changes.Our ideal solution would be for the Subscription page to display the exact contract renewal date together with the deadline by which subscription changes must be submitted to Zendesk. Additionally, Zendesk should proactively notify all Zendesk Admins and the Account Owner ahead of renewal (for example, 60 and 30 days before renewal) and clearly communicate the final date for submitting any seat, product, or subscription adjustments.

Improve Schedule Change Notification Deep-Linking in Zendesk WFMFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your organization is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.] I am submitting a feature request on behalf of our Customer Support agents, Team Leaders, and WFM Administrators to implement deep-linking for schedule change notifications. Currently, when an administrator modifies a future schedule, the hyperlink in the agent's notification pop-up only redirects them to the default, current active week view rather than the actual modification. What problem do you see this solving? This would eliminate the need for agents to manually click through future calendar weeks and guess where a schedule change was made. It ensures instant transparency and saves significant operational time when managers are building rotations weeks in advance. When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool? What happened? How often does this problem occur and how does this impact your business? This issue affects our team constantly, most recently this week as we pro-actively build out our upcoming August rotations during July. Because our leadership team frequently optimizes schedules in advance, agents are repeatedly disrupted by vague notifications that do not point to the change. This creates unnecessary confusion, forces agents to hunt through their calendars, and leads to missed updates because the specific adjustment isn't immediately visible. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) Yes, Team Leaders currently have to manually message agents via Slack or email to explicitly state the exact dates and times of the future schedule modifications they just made. What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? The "check here" hyperlink in the notification should utilize deep-linking to automatically redirect and focus the agent's WFM view onto the specific day or week where the schedule modification occurred.
