Guide
- Cursor-based pagination improves the overall performance and reliability of Zendesk APIs and allows much faster response times than offset-based pagination at any page depth. Introducing limits on offset-based pagination for requests greater than 100 records per page protects the Zendesk infrastructure, ensures reliability, and means Zendesk can improve the performance of this endpoint for articles with many attachments. See Introducing pagination changes - Zendesk API.
Zendesk Suite
-
After buying Zendesk, admins will see a new Set up and go live page to learn about the most important features they need to set up before going live and serving their customers. Each task includes an online tour to get you started and an article with setup details. See Set up and go live.
Click to open in another tab:
- Zendesk Suite trial wizard includes a new Reporting and analytics section. Trialers can learn how to use reporting and analytics to view account activity and make smarter decisions about where to focus resources. See Reporting and analytics.
Sell
- Use sequences on contacts to bulk onboard leads that you've converted to contacts, to up-sell, or to keep them up to date with your products. See Setting up email and task sequences in Sell.
- Unified email templates gives you the flexibility to use a single template for both leads and contacts or to create individual templates and apply identifying tags. See Creating and editing email templates.

It would be nice if the changes happened after being notified about them. The "Ticket Updated" change had us stumped, and that happened 2 or 3 weeks ago.

I do follow that section, but as I stated, the What's new showed up days after the change. It would be nice to know about the change before it happens.

I agree with Lou. We noticed the change before any communication was sent out. This is not the first time that has happened (manage views also had the same launch pattern).
We would like to be able to review what is coming, communicate with our team beforehand. It is even preferable to not have it be mandatory so we can test the behavior in sandbox.

Is there a way to use the former layout, my team is not fond of this new ticket response layout.

We all of the sudden have an "Assign" option under every comment made on a ticket by an agent. There is no note here nor in the release notes. We are not charmed by this new option and want to remove it.

The "assign" link was announced here: Announcing assign links in the Zendesk Agent Workspace. This has been a popular feature in our Standard Agent Interface, and so we enabled it in the Agent Workspace as well. There's not a way to disable it, I'm afraid.

Dave,
The main issue I think with the "Assign" button, is that it shows up also under the agent that is currently assigned.
This means it would usually show up under most of the comments in the ticket (as they are done by that assignee probably). So this is confusing because as an agent, when I'm on a ticket and I see the word "Assign" under my name, I'm instantly not sure I'm actually assigned already.
It would have been better in my opinion to show it only under other agents, and maybe highlight the assigned agent in a different way.
