Is this already live? I'm not seeing a "Follow-Ups" section in Admin Panel and tried logging out and back in.

Same, I don't see it under Tickets > Settings

What will the expected behavior be if the original Group has been deleted, or the original assignee is no longer an Agent?

2


What would have been interesting would have been to differentiate the copy of the group and/or the assignee. Personally, we only wanted a copy of the group but not of the assignee, to effectively avoid problems with agents who have left or are absent.

Hi Colleen, 

 

Please could you clarify if this is fully live, we are on Professional and can not seem to find the Section "Follow-Ups".

Hi,

Same here, we're not able to see this option under "ticket settings". 

In any case, Will this functionality be applied retroactively? I mean, the current closed tickets prior to this change will be assigned automatically to their prior group and assigne if the customer replies?

Hi team,

Same here, the setting is not available as of yet.

as mentioned by another user above, we would love the ability to set the Group automatically, but don't want the Assignee set automatically

Hello,
 
I appreciate your continued updates. 
 
Currently, our team has not set a definitive schedule for the release. As for the specifics concerning deletion of the group or absence of an assignee, these scenarios are actively under discussion by our product team; thus, we anticipate that the article will be revised with additional information in due course.
 
In response to the question:the current closed tickets prior to this change will be assigned automatically to their prior group and assignee if the customer replies. Yes, any closed tickets that are reopened as a result of follow-up from your end users should automatically revert to their prior group and assignee. 
 
Regarding the capability for users to set a group automatically, I will relay this suggestion to our team for their consideration. While I cannot guarantee immediate action, please know that your input has been communicated to our product team for evaluation.

we need the group to maintain, not the assignee

Hey Destiny 

 

It is really disappointing and a very bad User-experience (and service) if you announce a feature and then announce to pause it “temporarily” without a timeline or additional information. The things the users needed were communicated before.

 

Could you please make it live again with some limitations? Thanks!

This is not solved

We also need the option to assign to the group but not the assignee. Not all of our agents work every day, sometimes with much time between, so those tickets would sit without being viewed.

Has this functionality/feature gone live yet?  New to Zendesk here, I can see that the release was on hold in March but given it is now November has it been released? I have checked under Objects and rules sidebar but cannot see a Ticket > Settings option?

+1 to maintain the group assignment and not the assignee

 

I'd also like to understand how this works when an agent is OOO (using the Zendesk Out of Office app). Would a ticket be assigned to them when they are unavailable?
