How can you track the status of a ticket in Zendesk?

Tracking the status of a ticket in Zendesk is essential for managing customer inquiries effectively. The correct method involves utilizing the predefined ticket statuses such as Open, Pending, On Hold, and Solved. Each of these statuses represents a specific stage in the ticket's lifecycle, providing clear visibility into its current state.

For example, an Open status indicates that the ticket has been created and needs attention, Pending means that the agent is waiting for a response from the customer, On Hold shows that the progress is temporarily halted (potentially due to external factors), and Solved indicates that the issue has been resolved. This structured approach to status tracking allows agents and managers to prioritize their workflow and ensure timely responses to customers, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.
