Impact of Zendesk Messaging on Social Channels
How does Zendesk Messaging impact social channels?
Enabling Zendesk Messaging can impact your social messaging channels, as the Answer Bot becomes the first responder. Currently, there is no option to toggle the Answer Bot by channel, but Zendesk is working on a solution to disable it for social channels.
If you're concerned about the impact on your social channels, it might be best to wait until this change is implemented before enabling messaging. For more details, refer to the originalZendesk help article.
