Third-Party Bot Installation in Zendesk Messaging

Discover the effects of installing a third-party bot in Zendesk messaging and how to manage bot control.

What happens when I install a third-party bot in Zendesk messaging?

Installing a third-party bot in Zendesk messaging makes it the main bot for all messaging channels. This is because all channels are managed under the same Sunshine Conversations app, which defaults to the third-party bot.

If you want different behaviors for different channels, the third-party bot developer must configure the integration to pass control to the Zendesk bot for specific brands. This setup requires including the integration ID to ensure the correct bot handles the conversation.
