How Messaging Works in Zendesk Agent Workspace
How does messaging work in the Zendesk Agent Workspace?
Messaging in the Zendesk Agent Workspace allows agents to manage conversations with customers through a unified platform. Customers can send messages via the Web Widget, and these messages are converted into tickets that agents can respond to. If enabled, customers might interact with a bot before being connected to an agent, providing agents with the full context of the conversation. This setup ensures that agents have all the necessary information to assist customers effectively.
For more details on how to send and receive messages, you can refer to the originalZendesk documentation.
