Post-Chat Attachment Security in Zendesk

Discover how Zendesk secures chat attachments after a chat ends, requiring sign-in for access.

What happens to chat attachments after a chat ends in Zendesk?

After a chat ends in Zendesk, secure chat attachments require authentication to be accessed. This means that both agents and end users must sign in to view or download any attachments related to a ticket.

This feature is designed to enhance security by ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. It's important to note that this setting does not apply to attachments in social or web messaging tickets.
