Allow both AI Agent and fallback messages to be customized in "Notify by>Autoreply using generative AI" trigger actionFeedback submitted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)The new “Notify by>Autoreply using generative AI” trigger action (added with AI Agents for email/webform) only allows the fallback response to be customized. The normal response should be customizable as well as the fallback response.What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) With the existing “autoreplies with answers” trigger action, I can customize the response to include appropriate boilerplate above the suggested articles, which are inserted via the “autoreply.article_list” substitution. I want to be able to include the same boilerplate for GenAI replies with the new trigger action.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 the default behavior of the new “AI Agents for email/webform” capability, and not being able to implement the necessary boilerplate is blocking our implementing this new capability.Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)I am trying to implement Instructions for the AI Agent to include the necessary boilerplate, which currently isn't working (I have a ticket open for that). But frankly, doing this via Instructions is a hack. What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)The “Notify by>Autoreply using generative AI” trigger action should allow both the normal and fallback responses to be customized, inserting the GenAI content into the template via an appropriate subsitution, as is done for “autoreplies with articles”.

Auto Assist: "Why did you do that?" — Reasoning Transparency for Procedure TestingFeedback submitted

Overview                                                                                                              A request for greater reasoning transparency in Auto Assist (Co-pilot) for procedure designers and QA testers.        Currently, the "Why this suggestion was generated" tooltip explains what the AI decided, but not the full reasoning chain behind it. This affects anyone building, testing, or maintaining Auto Assist procedures. Problem StatementWhen the AI deviates from expected procedure steps, there is no way to query which specific element — a tag, a phrase, a piece of ticket context — caused the deviation. Diagnosis requires repeated (and often brutal) trial-and-error testing. Business ImpactDuring a recent beta procedure rollout, diagnosing an issue where the AI was conflating a shipping tag with warranty eligibility required 6+ hours of testing across 30+ test tickets. Each diagnosis required creating a new ticket, reproducing the exact conditions, and reverse-engineering the AI's decision from the tooltip summary. A transparency tool would have surfaced the root cause in minutes. Current WorkaroundsRelying on the "Why this suggestion was generated" tooltip, which provides a useful but high-level summary. It does not break down how individual tags, procedure conditions, or cross-procedure context contributed to the decision. Ideal SolutionAn interactive reasoning interface where admins can ask natural language questions about a suggestion — e.g. "Why did you skip Step 4?" or "How did this tag affect your decision?" — returning a step-by-step breakdown of the AI's decision logic for that specific suggestion.

The "Internal Note" and "Autoreply" trigger actions in Zendesk do not allow to post multiple notes or replies.Accepted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)It would be nice to have the ability to post multiple internal or public notes using the native Zendesk functionality described in the following article:https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/6191477770906-Automatically-adding-comments-and-notes-to-tickets-using-triggersCurrently, only the first internal note can be posted when multiple triggers are invoked.This issue affects both admins and agents. What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences) This behavior is counterintuitive and limits the capabilities of the feature, forcing a switch to the API to avoid these kinds of conflicts.It is preferable to post notes using "Ticket > Internal Note" because it provides a rich text editor. In contrast, the API requires raw HTML to be used. 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 problem most recently occurred this week when we switched from posting notes via the API to using the publicly released "Ticket > Internal Note" functionality:https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8763325557018-Announcing-the-general-availability-of-autoreply-and-internal-note-actions-in-ticket-triggers.Although two separate triggers were meant to post internal notes, only one note was successfully posted. Are you currently using a workaround to solve this problem? (If yes, please explain) (1-2 sentences)The possible workarounds are as follows: Posting notes via the API. Limiting the number of notes to one across all triggers.  What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)The ideal solution would be the ability to post all specified internal notes or public comments defined in trigger actions without limitations.

Allow custom views or filters for Suspended Tickets by suspension reasonFeedback submitted

Would it be possible for Zendesk allowed administrators to create custom views or filters for suspended tickets based on the suspension reason. Currently, the Suspended Tickets view shows all suspended tickets together, regardless of why they were suspended. This includes spam, automated replies, bounced emails, and other system-generated messages. There is no way to filter or create a view for specific suspension reasons. You can sort but that isn't always that helpful. With Zendesk’s newer email verification requirements, this limitation will become more noticeable operationally. When a request is submitted from the Help Center by a user who is not signed in, the ticket is placed into suspended status until the user verifies their email. These tickets can represent legitimate support requests that simply require verification before opening. However, because the suspended queue also contains large amounts of spam and automated messages, it is difficult to quickly identify these verification-related tickets. We also have a external support email that will get a decent amount of spam and/or auto replies that tend to clog up that view.  Being able to create a custom view that filters suspended tickets by suspension reason would allow teams to: Monitor verification-related submissions more effectively Troubleshoot situations where users believe they submitted a ticket but it has not yet opened Reduce time spent scanning the entire suspended queue This functionality would make the suspended ticket queue significantly more usable for operational monitoring and troubleshooting. Thanks!

Why will Anonymous Requester Verification be mandatory? Please make it optionalFeedback submitted

Zendesk recently announced the upcoming introduction of Anonymous Requester Verification for Help Center requests. While the security motivation is understandable, making this feature mandatory could create serious problems for existing workflows.→ https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/10360295453082-Announcing-verification-for-anonymous-help-center-requests Many organizations intentionally allow anonymous ticket submissions for legitimate reasons — such as embedded webviews, lightweight support forms, or systems where user identity is already handled outside of Zendesk. With this upcoming change, those workflows may be forced to redesign their entire support flow, even though they are currently working without issue. What makes this even more confusing is that Zendesk already allows administrators to control whether anonymous users can access the Help Center at all. If admins can decide that, why are we not allowed to decide whether anonymous request verification should be required? Right now this feels like a forced security policy with no flexibility and no clear migration path for organizations relying on anonymous submissions. If this feature is intended to improve security, it should be implemented as a configurable option in Admin Center, not a mandatory requirement. Please allow administrators to enable or disable Anonymous Requester Verification based on their own workflow and security requirements.

Feature Request: Ability to Set Zendesk Talk Queue Wait Time to Zero MinutesAccepted

Please give a quick overview of your product feature request or feedback and note who in your org is affected by this issue [ex. agents, admins, customers, etc.]. (2-3 sentences)We would like Zendesk Talk to include an option to set the queue wait time to zero minutes. This feature would mainly impact our customers and agents. Allowing a zero wait time would prevent customers from waiting in a queue when an agent is unavailable.What problem do you see this solving? (1-2 sentences)Currently, the shortest wait time that can be configured is one minute, which still places customers in a queue. A zero-minute option would allow calls to bypass the queue so customers do not wait unnecessarily.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 issue occurs regularly when our phone queue becomes busy. Customers are placed in the queue and may wait for several minutes, even when agents are unable to answer the call. In many cases, the call eventually goes unanswered, which creates a poor customer experience. This impacts our support efficiency and customer satisfaction because customers spend time waiting without receiving assistance.What would be your ideal solution to this problem? How would it work or function? (1-2 sentences)The ideal solution would be the ability to set the Zendesk Talk queue wait time to zero minutes. This would allow calls to skip the queue entirely so our team can return the call later instead of keeping customers waiting.
