Zendesk Messaging Widget Not Capturing Emails

Learn why your Zendesk messaging widget isn't capturing emails and how to fix it by adjusting email identity settings.

Why is my Zendesk messaging widget not capturing customer emails?

If your Zendesk messaging widget isn't capturing customer emails, it might be due to your email settings.

This issue typically arises when your messaging configuration is set to allow only verified emails. When this setting is enabled, any messaging tickets created will not include an email address unless the email is verified. To resolve this, you can change the setting to allow both verified and unverified emails. Simply navigate to your Zendesk admin panel, go to the messaging setup, and adjust the 'Creating email identities' setting to 'Use both verified and unverified emails'. Don't forget to save your changes! For more details, you can refer to the originalZendesk article.
