Question
How do agents sign in to the mobile Chat app?
Answer
This depends on how your Chat account was created and how it is integrated with Support. There are four versions of Chat accounts:
- Legacy Zendesk Chat, a chat-only version, created on zopim.com.
- Legacy Zendesk Chat + Support, an integrated Chat-Support account, created on zopim.com.
- Zendesk Chat Phase 3, an integrated account, for Zendesk Support customers who created chat from within Support.
- Zendesk Chat Phase 4, Chat-only or Chat + Support.
If you have issues determining your Zendesk Chat account version, see the article: About Zendesk Chat account types.
If you have a Phase 1 standalone account, even if it is integrated with Support, you can log into the app using your Chat credentials.
For Integrated accounts and Phase 4 accounts, tap the second button. Follow the screenshot below. This will prompt action from the Support mobile app, allowing you to access Chat from your mobile device.
If you have a Zendesk Chat Phase 4 account you can also check out the article: I can't sign into the Chat mobile app.
