Reasons Original Email May Not Be Viewable in Zendesk

Understand why the original email might not be viewable in Zendesk, including redaction by agents or admins.

Why might the original email not be viewable in Zendesk?

The original email might not be viewable in Zendesk if content within the ticket has been redacted by an agent or admin. Redaction is done to protect sensitive information.

Once a ticket comment is redacted, the original email for that comment and any additional inbound email comments on that ticket are no longer viewable. However, comments added before the redaction remain viewable. If the email was forwarded from an external service like Gmail, you can still view it there.
