Unauthenticated Users in Sunshine Conversations
What happens if a user is unauthenticated in Sunshine Conversations?
If a user is unauthenticated in Sunshine Conversations, Zendesk can temporarily track them using their browser session. This allows the system to associate the returning user with the same Sunshine Conversations appUserId, as long as they visit a page of the same domain in the same browser and don't delete their local storage.
However, there is no way to track the user across different browsers if they remain unauthenticated. This limitation highlights the importance of user authentication for consistent tracking and user management. For further details, refer to theoriginal link.
