What happens when a chat session ends in Zendesk?

A chat session in Zendesk ends when the visitor decides to close it. This can happen in several ways: the visitor can manually end the chat through the options menu, close the browser window, or idle on the site for a certain period.

The session remains active until one of these actions is taken, ensuring that the visitor has control over the chat duration. This setup helps maintain a seamless communication experience for the visitor.
