Identify Proactive Trigger Chats in Zendesk
How can I identify chats initiated by proactive triggers?
Chats initiated by proactive triggers can be identified by the first message in the chat transcript. This message will be from the proactive trigger, not the end user.
To see which triggers are set up, go to the Chat dashboard, select Settings, and then Triggers. The action 'Send Message to visitor' is the one that proactively reaches out to users based on the trigger’s conditions.
