Fix Inline Images Not Displaying in Zendesk Tickets

Learn why inline images appear broken for agents in Zendesk and how to fix it.

Why are inline images not displaying for agents in Zendesk tickets?

Inline images may appear as broken links for agents due to specific account settings. This issue arises when the Help Center is host-mapped, attachments require authentication, and agents authenticate through SSO.

The problem occurs because agents authenticate into the Zendesk domain, not the host-mapped domain where attachments are stored. To resolve this, agents can switch to Guide using the Zendesk Products icon. Alternatively, SSO admins can adjust the return_to URL to include the host-mapped domain, ensuring agents access the correct domain with their credentials. For more details, visit theoriginal link.
