Agent Workspace Limitations in Zendesk Messaging
What are the limitations of the Agent Workspace when migrating to messaging?
When migrating to messaging, there are specific limitations within the Agent Workspace that you should be aware of. If your account handles a high volume of chats or has many chat-only agents, it's crucial to consult with your Zendesk account representative before making the switch.
For optimal performance, it's recommended not to exceed 1,300 online Chat agents actively serving chats. While you can have up to 2,000 Chat agents, you must reduce the number of concurrent chats to avoid performance issues. Additionally, the system supports up to 4,000 concurrent conversations and 6,000 concurrent visitors daily. For more details, check the originalZendesk documentation.
