As per Zendesk:
Tags are words, or combinations of words, you can use to add more context to tickets and topics. You can apply tags to tickets, users, and organizations.
At its core, Zendesk relies on tags pretty heavily. As such, it is best to fully understand the tags used and how they correlate to what Zendesk does to the ticket.
As there are many, many tags, and new ones get added frequently, we will not list them all out here. Instead, here are the ones likely to be the most important to those working within Zendesk:
As a note, basic and starter are two different tags for the same plan/SLA.
| Tag | What it does |
|---|---|
starter |
Signifies the ticket is using a Starter plan, granting Standard SLA on Support tickets |
premium |
Signifies the ticket is using a Premium plan, granting Priority SLA on Support tickets |
ultimate |
Signifies the ticket is using a Ultimate plan, granting Priority SLA on Support tickets |
bronze |
Signifies the ticket is using a Bronze plan, granting Standard SLA on Support tickets |

priority_prospect |

free_customer |
Signifies the ticket is from a non-paying end-user. This means they receive no SLA on Support Tickets |
missing_sla_tag |
This means the ticket is missing any form of SLA tagging. As this is a problem, this tag applies a Standard SLA and forces the ticket into the Needs Org & Triage view |
low |
