However, our Email Tracking integration enables such functionality without changing how your Zendesk instance works. Are agents' emails tracked immediately after installing the app? No. Tracking does not start automatically. Agents must authorize the app, and one agent needs to enable the necessary triggers in the 'Select Emails to Track' section of the app settings. Once done, tracking begins for authorized agents. Can we see who opened the email (customer or ticket followers)? Yes. If a ticket follower opens an email, the app adds an internal note showing who read it, giving you clear visibility of engagement. If the ticket is closed, will we still receive updates about email opens or link clicks? No. Once a ticket is closed, the app stops tracking email opens and link clicks. Does Email Tracking support GDPR compliance? Yes. Email Tracking for Zendesk lets you disable tracking for recipients in the EU, UK, or California, helping you manage email tracking according to your privacy and compliance requirements. Is my email and customer data safe with the Email Tracking app? Yes. The app only accesses the minimal data needed for tracking. All processing happens inside Zendesk, and your data is encrypted and securely stored on AWS. Our hosting provider complies with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, ensuring high standards for information security.
