Troubleshooting: Chat Account Key Not Visible

Discover solutions if your Zendesk Chat Account Key isn't visible. Learn how to access it even with messaging enabled.

What should I do if my Chat Account Key isn't visible?

If your Chat Account Key isn't visible, it might be because your account is using messaging. In such cases, the Account Key is not necessary for integrations, plugins, or mobile app development. However, if you still need it, you can try disabling messaging to see if it appears.

Alternatively, you can check your Chat account key by selecting 'Visitors' > 'Simulate Visitor' from the Chat dashboard. This opens a new window where you can interact with your Chat widget as a visitor and copy the Account Key from there.
