Impact of All Agents Being Invisible in Zendesk Chat
What happens if all agents are set to Invisible in Zendesk Chat?
If all agents are set to Invisible, the chat widget will not appear online to visitors, and chat triggers will not fire. This means that customers won't be able to initiate chats, as the system perceives no available agents.
It's important to manage agent statuses carefully to ensure that the chat widget remains available to customers during business hours.
