Question
I can't forward a message from a customer in a ticket created within Zendesk. Why is the Forward via email feature missing in a ticket?
Answer
The Forward via email option is part of the side conversation features. As such, it is available in all Suite plans or the Support plans with the Collaboration add-on. With it, you can forward a message from a ticket to an internal or external user in a side conversation. However, this feature is not available in the following channels:
- API (API Web Services)
- Social messaging channels
- Web widget
- Closed ticket
- Messaging
Instead, insert messages from these channels into a side conversation with the feature Insert ticket comments.
