    Is there a way to simulate multiple chats at once?

    Hi @... and @...,

    I'd encourage one of you to post to our Feedback on Chat topic, and copy the format from the template we have there. The more details we have about your respective use cases, the better. Then post a link to your feedback post here so others can upvote and add their own comments and use cases. Thanks!

    Hey folks! Checking in on this functionality. We average over 7,000 visitors, the approach to "...simply wait until there are no active visitors to see the Simulate Visitor button again" isn't viable. Chatting in production is possible, but it's not ideal from a cost standpoint to use agent time for testing. It'd be ideal for the Simulate Visitor button to always available to allow for an enterprise-grade experience. I'm sure there are backend limitations that'd need to be overcome & hope the dev teams can do so.

    Hi Joel Loke,

    At the moment, the "Simulate Visitor" button would only be active when there are no other visitors in the chat. Other than that, we do recommend doing the test chats in your Sandbox instances. 

    This however would be a good addition to the Zendesk instance. 

    I've marked this conversation as product feedback for review, which means that your input will be aggregated as a part of our Voice of the Customer program that provides customer feedback to our product development teams.

    In addition, I encourage you to create a new post in the General Product Feedback topic in our community to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds. Conversations with a high level of engagement ultimately get flagged for product managers to review when they go through roadmap planning.

    Specific examples, details about impact, and how you currently handle things are helpful for our product teams to understand the full scope of the need when working on solutions. You may also want to review the Product feedback guidelines and how to write an effective feedback post [https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004391547-Product-feedback-guidelines-how-to-write-a-good-feedback-post].
