Read moreFrequently asked questions
Which Zendesk admin guides matter for a security review?
The ones on audit logs, data residency, redaction and the trust centre. Procurement asks for documents; those four decide what you can honestly claim in the answers.
How many Zendesk administrators should we have?
Two or three. One is a single point of failure and five is a configuration nobody understands, which is a theme running through most of these guides.
The duplicate underneath all of it
Whatever you are configuring, a tenth of the queue is the same request arriving twice. Ticket Merger spots those pairs and merges them through your own API.
