Teltroz Inc specializes in data science, data analytics, and big data technologies. Serving a wide range of customers from large to medium-sized businesses, security has been their top priority. The firm uses Zoho Desk to enhance their business operations, assist clients, and track client requirements. Teltroz Inc prefers to assign a specific consultant (contact owner) to each client rather than having multiple consultants handle all clients, ensuring data privacy and preventing data leakage.
Zoho Desk allows you to assign the contact owner or account owner to each ticket. This edition will guide you on how to assign tickets to contact owners or account owners automatically using custom actions.
