Feature Request - Messaging Transcripts



Posted Dec 21, 2023

Hi, 

Please add a way to download full transcripts of messaging conversations. This was a feature in Live Chat so I'm not sure why it wasn't included.

I am in need to share my messaging tickets (including comments) with an external team and i cant find a simple straight forward way to do this. I am going all around the bush to work on this with no solution. I need this export option.

Lending my support to this request as well. We often need to easily review the full transcript for Messaging conversations, or occasionally send a transcript to one of our customers. 

This feature used to exist in Live Chat and we sorely miss it after updating to Messaging.

I agree, this is an important feature to use if the customer request the transcripts, and the print feature won't print out the full chat.

Thanks for your feedback, 
The primary reason to not provide the explicit option for transcript download is as follows 

  • Transcript is sent automatically to the end user once the messaging conversation is updated ( Ticket Status is updated) or ticket is closed. On Messaging ticket creation is not optional and ticket will be created by default. On Messaging  customers with or without Zendesk AI agent admins can configure email ID collection as a mandatory step. 
  • Transcript setting is also available with the Admins and same can be used to control whether transcript is sent on ticket update or when ticket is closed. 
  • There is additional option of print ticket which takes the print of overall conversation, useful in scenario where rules and workflow mandates a physical copy of the conversation.

Not being able to download transcripts i.e. download last 7 days worth of tickets is a major downfall of the service.

I hope this is fixed soon to give Zendesk users more options with their data. With AI powered tools exporting conversations would provide more valuable insight than any reports currently available in the Explore Section of ZD.
