Custom Fields Not Visible in Zendesk Bot Builder

Ensure your custom fields are Drop-Down or Text types and check permissions if they're not visible in Zendesk bot builder.

What should I do if my custom fields are not visible in the bot builder?

If your custom fields are not visible in the bot builder, first ensure that the field type is either Drop-Down or Text, as these are the only supported types. Also, check that the field is added to your ticket form and that the permissions allow customers to edit the field.

If these settings are correct and the issue persists, it might be necessary to recreate the field in a supported type or contact Zendesk support for further assistance.
