Troubleshooting 'Not Connected' Status in Zendesk Chat

Find out what to do if your Zendesk Chat connection status isn't 'connected'. Learn how to troubleshoot and resolve connection issues.

What should I do if my Zendesk Chat connection status is not 'connected'?

If your Zendesk Chat connection status is not showing as 'connected', it indicates a potential issue with your connection. First, check the 'Connection Type' metric to ensure it's set to 'Ws' (Websocket). If it's not, a firewall might be blocking your connection.

Additionally, review other metrics like 'Connection Progress' and 'D/C Count' to identify any anomalies. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to your internal IT team or Zendesk support for further assistance.
