How to Deactivate the Messaging View to Consolidate Tickets in Zendesk

Introduction

This guide explains how to deactivate the separate "messaging" view in Zendesk so that all tickets from different channels appear only in the "New/Unassigned" view. Consolidating tickets in one view helps streamline support workflows and improves agent efficiency by providing a unified ticket list.

Why Consolidate Tickets in One View?

Having tickets split across multiple views, such as a dedicated messaging view, can fragment agent focus and increase response times. Consolidating tickets into the "New/Unassigned" view ensures all new inquiries from voice, email, social, chat, and messaging channels are managed consistently and efficiently.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have administrator access to your Zendesk account in order to modify ticket views.

Step-by-step Instructions to Deactivate the Messaging View

Follow these steps to disable the separate "messaging" view and consolidate all tickets in "New/Unassigned":

1. Log in to your Zendesk admin dashboard.
2. Navigate to the "Admin" section by clicking the gear icon in the sidebar.
3. Under "Manage," select "Views" to display all your ticket views.
4. Locate the "messaging" view in the list of views.
5. Click the edit icon (pencil) next to the "messaging" view.
6. At the bottom of the edit view page, click "Deactivate View" or uncheck the option to make the view active.
7. Save your changes.
8. Verify that new tickets from messaging channels now appear only in the "New/Unassigned" view.

Tips and Best Practices

• Before deactivating views, consult with your support team to ensure this change aligns with their workflow preferences.
• Regularly audit ticket views to optimize visibility and reduce fragmentation.
• Leverage Zendesk’s omnichannel integration capabilities to unify customer interactions across all platforms.
