Using Messaging Metadata with Existing Conversations
Can Messaging Metadata be used with existing conversations in Zendesk?
Messaging Metadata is primarily applied to new conversations or when an end user sends a message in an existing conversation.
If you try to add metadata to an existing conversation without a new message, it may not appear in the agent panel. This is because Messaging Metadata is designed to enhance new interactions by providing additional context and information.
