Effects of Disabling Emoji Text Replacement in Zendesk

Discover what happens when you disable emoji text replacement in Zendesk. Learn about the impact on ticket comments and existing emoticons.

What happens if I turn off emoji text replacement in Zendesk?

If you turn off emoji text replacement in Zendesk, agents will no longer be able to convert text emoticons into emojis in ticket comments. Any existing emoticons in tickets will remain as characters and will not render as pictures.

This setting only affects the conversion of text to emoji and does not remove the emoji app icon from the ticket comments toolbar. So, agents can still use the emoji icon to insert emojis manually, but text emoticons won't automatically convert to emojis.
