Changes After Activating Zendesk Messaging
What changes occur when I activate messaging in Zendesk?
Activating messaging in Zendesk brings several changes to your account, impacting various functionalities. The Web Widget (Classic) can be converted to a messaging Web Widget, allowing for enhanced features. Additionally, Zendesk bots become available, offering more automation tools like the bot builder, which configures conversation bots as first responders.
The Agent Workspace also gains new capabilities, such as improved conversation history and the ability to respond to messaging conversations anytime. However, activating messaging does not affect any existing Android, iOS, or Unity SDKs. For more information, refer to the originalZendesk help article.
