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 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, -
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.

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!!
-
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?

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?
-
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.

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...
-
+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.
-
+1 on this. It's an essential feature that should be available. Even in intercom, we get this experience by default
-
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 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. -
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. -
+1 here. Need this feature
-
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.
-
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! -
We need that button! Without it really @#$%s up the flow!
-
I too would like to stress how important this feature is. A beta version would be appreciated all the same. Voting for this feature too.
Is there any way we can fast-track? -
Hi Zendesk,
This feature is highly required for our clients that we take up. Please avail this feature asap
-
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
-
I cannot avail the product without this feature.
-
Is there any update on this? When will we expect this feature to be released?
-
Thank you for the update.
The initial eta was 2022. We are now nearing q2 - 2023 with no time line.
For me, this function is a "Must have" but I am now too invested to not go live. I have been working on the flow builder for the better part of the past 6 months to improve customer experience and lighten our work load on CX. All the while hoping this would be released or at least opt in as Beta early acces.
As it stands now, I am going live with a tool that is possibly going to block customers out of creating tickets through the bot. This will add to phone calls and more tickets with no proper routing and potentially increase workload and decrease customer experience.
I hope this somewhat helps in understanding why most of us feel like this is such a needed function.

Hello,
Is there any update on this feature? Or any suggestion for working around?
-
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?
-
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.
-
+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.
-
For us, the chat bot was the deciding factor. Now this super important feature is missing, but Zendesk itself uses it. Somehow not really understandable! Please install this feature urgently! Without it the bot is NOT usable!
-
Can someone please add some documentation specifying the limitations of the new messaging widget when compared to the classic widget?
This is now the second feature block we've run into using the new implementation. I would have much preferred to implement the classic widget and eventually migrate away in the future. This is simply not ready for large enterprise production support teams.

Please let us know when the create "New Conversation" is available to Chat Bot. Since the customer conversation in a chat is already stored in the ZenDesk ticketing system and while in a Live Chat, they would like to start a new conversation with a "New conversation" button or have a button to end a conversation with "End conversation" if a Live chat agent is away for a long time.
