yesterdaySignificant platform update affecting Zendesk administrators.
Google News - Zendesk • recentlyThe most significant operational pattern observed across these article titles is the prevalence of service incidents and system outages affecting various Zendesk products, including Support, Talk, Analytics, and Messaging. This indicates that Zendesk administrators need to prioritize system stability and reliability, closely monitor their infrastructure, and have robust incident response and disaster recovery plans in place to ensure seamless customer experiences during periods of disruption.
Additionally, the titles suggest that Zendesk is rapidly expanding its AI and automation capabilities, which may be contributing to some of the observed stability issues. Administrators should carefully evaluate the impact of these new AI features on their Zendesk ecosystem and ensure thorough testing and gradual rollouts to mitigate any potential disruptions.

Nico's Commentary
Having had a bit of a fight with Claude over weeks trying to make these summaries good on this page, I have some sympathy for whoever was responsible for the updated copilot ticket summaries. I thought the flurry of "prompt engineering" roles a couple of years ago were a cynical joke but now they have vanished I feel like I should hire one!
It's time to renew this article Contracting is all in the preparation but I'm airing it here because it keeps coming up. Colour code your gear for site visits, have backups for everything mission-critical, etc. It makes such a difference!
