What are the options for messaging transcript visibility in Zendesk?

Zendesk offers two options for messaging transcript visibility: 'As public reply' and 'As internal note'.

The 'As public reply' option adds the transcript to the ticket history as a public reply, making it visible to ticket requesters and any other end users CCed on a ticket. This setting also includes transcripts in email notifications and allows the use of ticket APIs to fetch conversation data. On the other hand, the 'As internal note' option adds the transcript as an internal note, visible only to agents in the Agent Workspace.
