Zendesk Messaging: User Inactivity Effects

Discover the effects of user inactivity in Zendesk messaging. Learn about session timeouts and transcript updates.

What happens when a user is inactive in Zendesk messaging?

Inactivity in Zendesk messaging leads to session timeout. When a user is inactive for ten minutes, the messaging session times out, and the conversation transcript is added to the ticket as an internal note stating the user "left the conversation." A new session will start once the user returns and sends another message.
