Latest Zendesk Release Notes
Key Changes: The release notes include the following specific changes: A new, modernized version of the ticket settings page is now available in Admin Center, with a streamlined layout and new features and controls for managing ticketing configurations. The default automation responsible for transitioning tickets from Solved to Closed has been updated to find tickets throughout the hour, not just at the top of the hour. Record-level permissions on custom objects with Access Rules have been introduced. In the Dialogue Builder, select inputs have been replaced by Zendesk Garden components, and templates now work when the messaging toggle is activated. The limits for excluded terms in AI translation for articles have been increased from 50 to 300, and Admins can now understand their auto assist procedure performance directly from the procedure page in Knowledge admin. Automated resolutions for accounts in pod 19 were not being counted for autoreplies based on intelligent triage from July 17 to August 29, but this issue has been remediated. Copilot introduced 15 new recommendation types for refunds and escalations, macro suggestions in auto-assist procedures, and conversation summarisation for Slack channels.

Zendesk Announcements • 2 days agoAnalysis
Generated this morningThe most significant operational pattern observed is the increasing reliance on AI-powered features and the challenges associated with their implementation. Several articles mention the introduction of AI-powered insights, intent detection, and agent management, suggesting a strategic shift towards AI-driven solutions. However, this transition appears to be accompanied by service incidents and the need to manage the impact of these AI features on core Zendesk functionality. Administrators should closely monitor the rollout of AI-powered capabilities, thoroughly test them in staging environments, and be prepared to address any stability or performance issues that may arise during the implementation process.

Nico's Commentary
This week we see a big batch of updates, primarily in the AI Agents Advanced package.
I know I have a reputation in this space as an AI cynic (see yes I hate AI) but the important thing from my perspective is for the Zendesk platform to be the go-to solution for the businesses which will be tomorrow's giants. If copilot and AI agents help the leaders of growing support teams choose Zendesk and scale up quality service then that's what we all need to see.
