Limitations of Side Conversation Child Tickets in Zendesk

Understand the limitations of using side conversation child tickets in Zendesk, including notification triggers and visibility issues.

What are the limitations of side conversation child tickets?

Side conversation child tickets in Zendesk come with a few limitations. Notification emails will trigger twice, once for the originating side conversation and once for the child ticket. Agents need specific permissions to create child tickets through side conversations.

Additionally, child tickets assigned to private groups are visible to members who don't belong to the group. These limitations can affect how side conversation child tickets are used and managed within your organization.
