Organization Subscriptions

Agents in an organization can subscribe to be notified whenever someone in their organization submits a ticket. The agents will be notified as long as they're allowed to see all tickets or the organization's tickets. See Setting agent privileges and defining ticket access in the Zendesk Support knowledge base.

End users can also subscribe to be notified if they're members of a shared organization. See Setting up a shared organization for end-users and Viewing and editing a user's profile in the knowledge base.
