Hello everyone,

We would like to understand the recommended procedure for deactivating contacts in Freshdesk.

Specifically:

  • Is there a way to deactivate a contact without permanently deleting it?

  • What happens to existing tickets associated with that contact after deactivation?

  • Are there any best practices to ensure reporting and historical data remain unaffected?

  • Is bulk deactivation possible?

We want to ensure we follow a clean and compliant process while keeping our historical ticket data intact.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
