The chat ID is a unique chat session identifier used to find a specific chat session. This is especially useful in separating chats assisted by multiple agents.

To obtain the chat ID from the History tab

2. On the exported chat transcript, click View Link.
3. The chat ID is included as the last part of the URL as in the image below.

Alternatively, extract chat details in History, then open the file using this link: https://yoursubdomain.zendesk.com/chat/transcripts/chatID
