Notifications for Side Conversations in Zendesk
How do notifications work for side conversations in Zendesk?
When a side conversation is created, a notification appears in the Zendesk Support interface for 60 seconds. This notification is sent to both the person who made the request and the assigned individual.
This ensures that both parties are aware of the side conversation and can take appropriate action if needed. It's a helpful feature for keeping everyone in the loop about ongoing discussions.
