About Suite agents and Chat contributors
Each agent you add to the Suite gives one person access to all of the products in the Suite (Support, Guide, Chat, and Talk). If you already have Chat contributors (formerly Chat-only agents) in place and are making changes to your subscription, make sure that you account for those agents when you decide how many seats you need to purchase.
如果你已经有了支持和聊天,然后购买Zendesk Suite, the Contributor role is removed and no longer appears as one of the possible user roles. Contributors that are given a Suite seat convert to agents. Chat is enabled as part of their role. If you don’t purchase enough Suite seats, Contributors convert to end users (based on who was added last).
Here’s an example of how contributors are converted to new roles:
Situation
Company A has two Support agents (Anna and Bianca) and two Contributors (Carla and Dana). They buy three agents for the Suite.
Results
- Two Support agents (Anna, Bianca) receive Suite seats. Their role converts to agent.
- One contributor (Dana) does not receive a Suite seat. Her role converts to end user because she is the newest employee and agents are removed on a last-in-first-out basis when you did not buy enough seats.
- One contributor (Carla) receives a Suite seat. Her role converts to agent. Chat is enabled as part of her role.

We bought the Support Suite Professional
Zendesk Text says we have a problem, its only available for Talk professional etc.
Pretty sure Talk professional is part of the Support Suite Professional right?
Hey Kolomon,
According to ourPricingpage you do get some Talk features, however, Text would have some additional charges which may be why you're receiving the error.. I'd be happy to connect with your Account Manager so they can discuss this information with you further.
Let me know!
It says "To buy the Suite, click the Buy Zendesk Suite button at the top of the wizard." ... I cannot find the buy button ...
Hello@...,
I will open a ticket to investigate this further.
You will get an email shortly.
I changed my subscription and it looks like I've been enrolled in the old Suite Plan, not the new one. I don't even see the option to select 'Suite Growth' under subscription settings.
I was told that changing the plan could be done in my subscription settings. Please direct me to how I can change to the latest Suite Growth plan.
Hey Dan,
Thanks for reaching out in the forums! You can use these instructions for updating your subscription here:Viewing and managing plan subscriptions
The **Manage Subscription **page appears where you can add agent seats, buy new products, extend subscriptions, and so on. Keep in mind that these options will only be available if you're the owner of the account.
Let me know if you don't see the option to update your plan as I'm happy to assist further.
Cheers!
Hi Brett,
Thanks for your response. I can navigate there and I'm trying to change my subscription to theSuite Growthplan,detailed here. I am not seeing this as an option. Please see the screenshot of my available options.
Thanks for the update Dan! I'm going to create a ticket on your behalf so our Customer care team can look into this further with you to troubleshoot further.
You'll receive an email shortly stating your ticket has been created.
Thanks Brett, that's much appreciated. What is your first response time because including your ticket, I've now submitted three in the last 24 hours with no response.
You have been very responsive, but it seems that the team that handles tickets is not. Furthermore, I have another case that's been open since April which has had astonishingly poor follow up from the Zendesk Support Team. If I didn't follow up regularly myself, I think the team would just ignore it until I go away.
For a company that provides Support technology, I have to admit that the service is the worst I've ever experienced.
Hey Dan,
非常抱歉听到你的经验与我们been less than satisfactory :( I know our Customer Care team is dealing with a high volume of tickets currently so I don't have an ETA of when they'll follow-up with you. That being said, have you tried chatting in with them instead directly from your account? That should get you a faster response from them through a live channel. You can find this option using these instructions:Contacting Zendesk Customer Support
You should see the live chat option once you select Get Help from your own account.
Let me know if you have troubles locating this!
Thanks for your acknowledgement and response, Brett.
I've received a response off of the ticket you logged and I'm now waiting for an AE to reach out to me. With any luck, that will happen promptly. In the future I will attempt the Chat channel when I require immediate assistance.
Happy to help Dan :)

You'll receive an email shortly stating your ticket has been created.
