Zoho Desk: Ticket Owner Agents vs Teams

Zoho Desk: Ticket Owner Agents vs Teams

Hi Zoho,

We would like to explore the possibility of hiding the ‘Agents’ section within the Ticket Owner dropdown, so that we can fully utilise the ‘Teams’ dropdown when assigning tickets.

This request comes from the fact that only certain agents and teams are directly involved in handling tickets, while the remaining agents primarily serve in an observer role, providing visibility for troubleshooting when needed.

Would it be possible to customise the visibility of the ‘Agents’ section so we can maintain consistency in our ticket assignment process?

Thank you,
Amirah

          • Using Agent Email Address as From Address

            Currently, while replying to a ticket, it is possible for agents to choose their own email addresses as 'from' addresses. Although we built this just for that little extra flexibility, in hindsight, it hasn't figured much in conventional usage.  Almost all businesses prefer that responses to their customers' tickets be sent from the common support/service email address and NOT from those of individual agents. During personal interactions at events, some of you have even made passing mentions about
