Read moreFrequently asked questions
Which Zendesk setup guides come first?
Account creation and the email channel. Almost every bad Zendesk setup is bad because somebody built automations before a single real ticket had arrived.
Do the Zendesk setup guides cover migration?
Yes, in both directions, including the part every quote leaves out: rebuilding triggers, macros, views and SLA policies by hand.
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.
