Show Requester's Email on the Ticket

Currently, when viewing a ticket, it will show the Requester's name and the to email address, but it doesn't show what email the ticket was sent from.

 

To see the from address, you have to open the "View Original Email" pop-up window.

 

It would be great if the from address could be visible directly on the ticket, as this has caused some confusion for users with multiple emails associated with their profile when they reach out from an address other than their primary email.

With the switch to agent workspace, our team is also missing the requester’s email address and “via” information at the top of the ticket. 

We are using an internal app to help us process tickets, so we're already using the space on the right-hand side. Showing the requester’s email address at the top of the ticket allowed us to both see the email address of the user *and* use our custom app in the right-hand panel. In addition, the “via” field allowed us to quickly understand to which email address the ticket was sent. It takes additional time to click on “view original email” to get this information.

damn right - this change was made by someone that does not use zendesk day in day out… its slowed us down a lot.

This change doesn't make a lot of sense, now we need more clicks to do the same work.

 

We also use a custom app on the right panel, and now we have to click between tabs. The email address of the requester wasn't replaced with anything, it's just empty space now.

 

Is there a feature request to bring this back?

Thanks for this feedback, it's helpful context as we plan our roadmap. We're currently evaluating this with the engineering team to assess technical feasibility and effort. I'll update this idea when we know more about prioritization.
