First Comment Details in Zendesk Chat Ticket
What information is included in the first comment of a Zendesk chat ticket?
The first comment of a Zendesk chat ticket includes the ticket creation details, such as the ticket subject and URL link. However, it does not include the initial lines of the conversation, the chat start time, or the agent who served the chat.
This is because the chat event data is backfilled into the first private ticket comment after the chat ends. If public transcripts are enabled, the entire transcript will be added as a second event after the conversation ends, providing a complete view of the chat interaction.
