Zammad

Run email, phone, chat, and social customer support from a shared ticket desk.

What it helps with

Zammad is a full helpdesk for tickets from email and other channels, with customer records, groups, roles, templates, knowledge features, and reporting. It can give an established service desk a consistent queue and audit trail. The interface serves support agents, but installation and operation are substantial: search, database, background work, mail routing, storage, backups, upgrades, and channel integrations must stay healthy. A hosted edition is available for teams that do not want that responsibility.

Best fit

Best for dedicated support or service teams with an administrator; not for very small teams wanting only a shared mailbox.

Setup reality

Ops-heavy; official packages and containers depend on database/search and production mail/channel configuration, with careful versioned upgrades.

License context

Copyleft licenseBusiness use is allowed. Sharing duties depend on the specific license and how modified software is distributed or offered.

AGPL-3.0; internal use is allowed; modified network deployments may require providing corresponding source.
