Forwarding Messages Without 'Forward via email' in Zendesk

Learn how to forward messages in Zendesk tickets using side conversations when 'Forward via email' is unavailable.

How can I forward a message from a Zendesk ticket if the 'Forward via email' feature is missing?

If the 'Forward via email' feature is missing, you can still forward messages by using the 'Insert ticket comments' option. This method allows you to add the conversation to a side conversation, which can then be shared with internal or external users.

This workaround is particularly useful for channels where the forward feature is not available, such as API, social messaging, and closed tickets. By using side conversations, you ensure that important information is communicated effectively.
