Can I add attachments to side conversations in Zendesk?

Yes, you can add attachments to side conversations in Zendesk. When replying to a side conversation, you can select a file from your computer or include attachments that already exist in the ticket. Simply click the attachment icon and choose either From computer or From ticket.

However, some attachments, like those from WhatsApp tickets, can't be directly added to a side conversation. In such cases, download the attachment and add it from your computer. This flexibility ensures you can share necessary files with your side conversation recipients.
