Limitations of Ticket Redaction in Zendesk

Understand the limitations of ticket redaction in Zendesk, including unsupported channels and conditions. Ensure compliance with Zendesk's capabilities.

What are the limitations of ticket redaction in Zendesk?

Ticket redaction in Zendesk has several limitations. It does not support redaction of entire tickets or messages in active conversations. Additionally, it doesn't work on messages stored in Zendesk bot services, third-party bot services, or tickets created from Slack Business Connect.

Redaction is only applied within Zendesk-controlled systems, meaning the original content may still be visible on external platforms like Facebook Messenger. Also, redaction for messaging tickets is not supported for messages created before April 2022. For a full list of limitations, refer to the Zendesk help documentation.
