Unavailable Settings in Zendesk Messaging

Discover which Chat-specific settings are unavailable in Zendesk's messaging default experience and how to access them.

What settings are unavailable in Zendesk's messaging default experience?

In Zendesk's messaging default experience, certain Chat-specific settings are unavailable. This is because the messaging Web Widget is used instead of the Web Widget (Classic).

Unavailable settings include Visitors, History, Analytics, Monitor, and various Settings such as Departments, Roles, Banned, Goals, Widget, and most Account settings except for API. If you need these settings, consider opting out of messaging to revert to the classic live Chat experience.
