A:The average hold time is 3 minutes. The longest hold times are on Tuesday, and the shortest are on Monday. You can skip the hold time for free.

How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Zendesk below.

Let us call and talk to Zendesk for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Zendesk phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the Zendesk phone system greets you: Accounts receivable - Send email. Products, services - Contact zendesk.com. No phone support available.

What are the hours and when should I call?

Zendesk operates the call center for this 888-670-4887 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 361 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Zendesk call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Zendesk phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Zendesk staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Zendesk is Saturday. The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 116% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 361 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Zendesk

In summation, the best day to call Zendesk is Tuesday.

Calling this Zendesk Customer Number

For being one of the oldest and largest cloud computing customer service platforms, finding support from Zendesk is a mess. While I get that they provide digital solutions, sometimes you want to talk to a real person when you are dealing with an issue, and that is clearly not an option when dealing with them. From a frustrating phone call to a frustrating website experience with Zendesk, I am ready to lodge a complaint about their customer earpieces for actual customers who purchase their platform. It makes me wonder what type of customer experience our company's clients are having with them. 

It's very ironic, given that they are supposed to provide customer engagement software because they certainly don't do much to engage their own customers. I called this phone number and was met with a recorded voice that never offered me a chance to talk to a real live customer representative. Instead, it offered me information for several different situations, but I never had the chance to talk to someone about any of them. Either this is the wrong phone, or the company doesn't offer any type of real-time customer support for clients that use the software. 

I needed to talk to the sales department about a few components of our software purchase but was unable to do so despite attempting to call this number and visit their support page. When I called, it said, "Thank you for calling Zendesk. Listen carefully as we have changed our options." This was ironic because there were not any options to talk to anyone. This makes me think that maybe they recently removed their live support. I don't know, but it is odd. 

The recorded options that they did give me were this, "If you are looking to get in touch with accounts receivable, please send us an email at  ar@zendesk.com. If you are looking for verification of employment, please go to the work number for assistance. If you are outside the US, please email us for support. For information about open roles at Zendesk, please visit our website. If you are looking to get in touch with our advocacy team, you can do so by clicking the profile in your Zendesk app interface."

None of that helped me at that moment, so I went to their website to see if there were any additional contact options. I had the option to contact sales via an email message that would require me to wait for them to call me back or to go to the help center and read over blog posts. Overall, I am very unsatisfied with this entire experience.

More Zendesk Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Zendesk customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Zendesk Customer Email Addresses

support@zendesk.com - Customer Service
Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Zendesk will reply our your email.

Zendesk Customer Help Desk / Web Support

zendesk.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Zendesk customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
