Zendesk Talk Error Messages

Answered


Posted Sep 24, 2019

I constantly get error messages at the top-right corner of my screen saying:  "Zendesk Talk encountered an error.  Try enabling again. (EC5)"

If one error pops up I can usually close it out.  But, sometimes four of the messages will pop up and closing one just re-opens a new error with the same message.  Only way to clear the errors is to close the webpage and load a new one.  Very annoying.  Especially since I do not even use Zendesk Talk.  Is there any way to stop these errors, and\or turn off Zendesk Talk all together?

We're facing the same issue. Could this be a bigger problem?

Hi Neil and Tia -

EC# errors are often caused by your network or router configuration. They represent an issue with Zendesk Talk not having an adequate network connection. This can occur anywhere along with the network, but often they are the result of local network limitations, or from a computer that does not meet the minimum requirements to make the connection.

For troubleshooting steps for this error, see Zendesk Talk Troubleshooting Tips

We're are experiencing this too, and the option to switch talk on in the agents profile seems to have disappeared, yet calls are still coming in as expected. 

The error message blocks me from clicking on good data, or seeing anything in that top corner.

Hello Jenny,

Apologies for that. The error message should disappear after 5 seconds. However, our developers are aware of this issue and are working on fix.

Same issue here - We are no longer using Zendesk Talk (How to disable it to prevent those message upon first login in the morning?)

We are a big company at a big office: A good internet connection is crucial for us, so I can't believe that the issue is this.

Any updates on this matter? I see this whenever I bring my laptop home and work remotely. It's very annoying, especially since we do not use Talk at all.

Hello, Stefan,

We don't have further updates I am afraid. I do have the same issue when I work remotely and my Internet connection is not as good. Once it reconnects, I receive the error. All I have to do to clear it out is refreshing my browser and the error goes away.

Ricardo (Zendesk couldn't find you when I tried to "@" mention you,

But our organization does not even use Talk (see image). So why do we get these, extremely annoying, error messages all the time? Please fix!

Got this reply from Zendesk earlier (slightly edited to remove some account details):
"In this case, I can see that you have a Talk Lite subscription enabled on your account. Because of this, you will see the EC5 errors if your network has not been configured appropriately for Talk. If you do not use or want a Talk Lite subscription, you will need to update your subscription. If you do wish to use the Talk Lite subscription, then you may need to check your network configuration settings."

After removing the free Talk agents from our subscription, the problem disappeared for us. 

Hope this helps anyone out there =)
