Zendesk App Updates: Rename Files + Drag & Drop

Two new features have been added to our Zendesk agent sidebar app to streamline user workflows and help close tickets faster. Agents can now update customer file names to meaningful descriptors, as well as conveniently drag and drop files for encryption and attachment to outbound communications.

Rename Dropzone Files

Often, customer files uploaded to a Zendesk ticket have the default name supplied by the user’s device, such as IMG_5677.jpg (an iphone photo) or Screen_Shot_2023-01-01_at_8.56.45_AM.png (screen capture from a mac). These generic names can make it hard for agents to zero in on the specific file they need without having to open and view the contents of each. This problem is compounded when multiple files have been uploaded, and when a ticket requires repeated viewings by a team of agents.

With our new Dropzone file renaming capability, any agent who can view a file uploaded to a Dropzone can rename that file directly in the Zendesk agent app. For example, on a ticket with three image files, IMG_5677 can be renamed to “Drivers License Front”, IMG_5678 renamed to “Drivers License Back” and IMG_5679 to “Proof of Residence”, fast tracking all future views of the ticket and ticket attachments.

To edit a file name, agents simply hover over the file to expose a pencil icon. From there they can edit the file name (excluding the file extension, which cannot be changed).

Frequently asked questions

Can Zendesk agents rename customer files uploaded through SendSafely?

Yes. Any agent who can view a file uploaded to a Dropzone can rename it in the SendSafely Zendesk agent app, for example changing IMG_5677.jpg to “Drivers License Front.” Hover over the file and click the pencil icon. See the Zendesk integration.

Can I change the file extension when renaming a file in the SendSafely Zendesk app?

No. Agents can edit the name of a Dropzone file in the SendSafely Zendesk app, but the file extension cannot be changed. Hover over the file and click the pencil icon to edit the name.

Why rename Dropzone files in a Zendesk ticket?

Customer uploads often keep generic device names like IMG_5677.jpg or screenshot timestamps, which force agents to open each file to find the right one. Descriptive names speed up later views by any agent on the ticket.

Can I drag and drop files into the SendSafely Zendesk app?

Yes. Agents using Chrome or Edge can drag and drop files into the SendSafely agent sidebar app to encrypt and attach them to outbound replies. Up to 99 files can be dragged in at once.

How many files can I drag into the SendSafely Zendesk sidebar at once?

Up to 99 files can be dragged into the SendSafely Zendesk agent sidebar app at one time, in Chrome and Edge browsers.
