Simulate a Chat for Testing in Zendesk Chat
How can I simulate a chat for testing in Zendesk Chat?
To simulate a chat for testing in Zendesk Chat, you can use the 'Simulate Visitor' feature. From the Chat dashboard, select Visitors > Simulate Visitor. This opens a new window where you can interact with your Chat widget as if you were a visitor.
However, the 'Simulate Visitor' button will not appear if there are any active visitors at that time. To work around this, you can initiate a test chat by acting as an end user from the page where your Chat widget is hosted, or wait until there are no active visitors to see the button again. For more detailed information, you can refer to the originalZendesk article.
