possibility to start a new chat conversation in our bot
Now, when a customer starts a chatbot it remains open for five days (more or less). We want the customer had the possibility to open a new conversation. Is that possible?
Thanks!!!!

Hi!
Nice suggestion. This is actually something we have in active development, and will be hopefully releasing in 2022. We agree that it would be a helpful to be able to conduct multiple conversations at the same time (for certain businesses). If there's anything specific that you'd like to see in this feature, feel free to post a comment below. You'd love to get your thoughts!

Hi team,
We would like to have the same button as you show when contacting Zendesk support.
How can we add it to the Mobile SDK or a website widget?
Thank you, -
I don't think I can go live without this feature. What is the expected release Date? Is there a Beta version for which we can sub?
-
Hi Tim,
Unfortunately we can't share a public release date at this time, all I can say is that it's a high priority item in our roadmap. Once it's ready, it'll likely be available for all customers as early as possible.

Hi Zendesk,
This feature is highly required for our clients that we take up. Please avail this feature asap

Hi Zendesk,
Your Support team told me that the new conversation button and the My conversations list view are custom work from Zendesk side (not out of the box).
What is the plan to add it to the product? It is a Critical functionality (and the evidence is that Zendesk did some custom work to add this functionality.)
In intercom this functionality is out of the box...
-
Hi there,
Any idea on when this is likely to be introduced? Currently, it appears that if customers will like to start a new conversation after being transferred through an agent, they will not be shown the bot again.
Without this, this is a broken product and a major problem with bot functionality. -
Hello,
Is there any update on this feature? Or any suggestion for working around?
-
+1 on our team looking in incorporate this feature. Since Zendesk has it available on their end I would hope that it can be pushed to your customers sooner rather than later.
-
Mick O'Donnell, Product Manager stated it would be available in 2022. It is now June of 2022. Any update on this??? This is a NEEDED upgrade to the Chat bot capabilities!!
-
Good afternoon,
This feature is integral to delivery of Support to our clients, can you please advise of a timeline for delivery of this Enhancement?
-
+1 on this. It's an essential feature that should be available. Even in intercom, we get this experience by default
-
As observed Zendesk Bot wont allows user to Jump on Top or beginning even when they communicating with Bot but it gives Start Over button if they search something not listed in Guide, so cant we get this start Over button in Designing option so where ever needed can add this and Just ask user to click on it.
After raising request to agent it remains in same state till the time case is open is second drawback of Bot. Looking for immediate solution on this. -
Mick O'Donnell is it already released?
-
We are also experiencing the same issue. Can you share a timeline on when this will be fixed? The bot is useless if this feature is not available. The customer experience is going to be bad and will not help our business in any way. Mick O'Donnell
-
First ask about pricing and the ln a different subject is not possible? Not being able to restart is just so bad. How can you not sort out this clear problem? Changed from a competitors chat bot but I will have to move the chat back until this is sorted. If someone wants to know more then 1 thing it’s not possible?
-
I cannot avail the product without this feature.
-
+1 here. Need this feature
-
As an end-user, I love the "New conversation" button + ticket history whenever I reach out to ZenDesk Support in their own Messaging widget.
I would love it even more to be able to implement the same in my company's instance.
What's the word on release?
-
We would really like to implement this feature in our customer experience.
-
Reviving this question.
When is this feature expected to be released?
Not being able to create another ticket has now become a company-wide issue for us. Reporting is also pointless as all the issues are being captured on the single ticket thread for the chat.
-
Is there any update on this? When will we expect this feature to be released?
-
Hello Mick O'Donnell and Zendesk team. Echoing the requests from above. Do we have an update on the timeline for this feature release? The last update on this from Zendesk seems to be a year ago this month. Hoping this is released soon as it's currently a blocker for us from using Zendesk.
-
Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for your continuous feedback regarding the need of multi-conversation capability in Messaging, we really appreciate it! We have made some changes to the previously planned timelines for this feature, and at this point we are not targeting a delivery in 2022. We are not able to share a release date at this point, however, our teams are currently working on this and we will provide updates here once we have a timeline to share.
In the meantime, you can check out our Support SDK and Sunshine Conversations SDK which offer the multi-conversation capability, as they might be a good alternative for you.
Thank you.
-
Thank you for the update, hope to have a release date announced early 2023. I'll agree with everyone here that this is a much needed feature. Using chat in Zendesk support is always such a great experience, it is a little frustrating that we can have the same tools.
I'm working to implement messenger now and testing is a bit rough since it all seems like one big long ticket.
-
+1 on the above comments - this would be particularly handy for our internal staff who often contact multiple times for different issues via the widget. New Conversation button would allow them to have different conversations on the go at once.
-
Following this thread - hoping for an offering from ZD soon, especially considering they use it themselves and can clearly see the need for it.
Currently every customer that returns to our Messaging service are immediately presented with their last interaction, with no notification within the chat window that it's a past (and closed) ticket unless the agent communicated that themselves before solving. What ZD are utilizing themselves clearly fixes this issue and presents a better CX - please update soon! -
Is there any update on this?
-
Voting for this feature too. Extremely unfriendly for users to have one endless conversation in chat without possibility to start a new conversation. Strange though that Zendesk team has implemented a solution for their bot already.
-
This feature is very much needed. The only way a user can start a new conversation with the SDK version is to clear out their phone's cache and data. Then they can go back to the chatbot and start a new conversation. This is holding us back from launching. Please provide the solution that you currently have on your chatbot with us.
