User Identification in messaging

回答済み


投稿日時:2021年11月18日

We're looking to auto-populate a customer's name & email based on their login information within Zendesk Messaging. Zendesk legacy chat has a function where we'd just call from the code, passing it all the login data so that the user doesn't have to manually input this every time they start a chat. We're wondering if there is something equivalent to zE('webWidget', 'identify') and zE('webWidget', 'logout') supported in the new Zendesk Messaging?

Still no feature?

As we are forced to switch to messaging now, this feature is crucial. Is there any progress with it?

It's been "coming" since November 2021 and no update since but I'm a chancer so here goes.....

Any update on this? It's rather fundamental in switching from live chat that we're able to keep core functionality. Like say knowing whose messaging us? I noticed an article saying uptake on omnichannel has dropped 10% in the last year. How much of that is down to the fact your classic widget offers better integration than messenger?

Hello,

Any update here? 

This feature is a essential, how is it possible to not have it?

Is there any workaround maybe?

Thanks!

Hi Glenn,

Could you please elaborate a bit more on how we can use the token for this?

I did some tests but they were unsuccessful.

Thanks!

So we found the best way to do this was to keep using the user related API's here..

So on each sign-up we create a user in Zendesk. 
https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/ticketing/introduction/

and then use the authentication API for messenger to generate a token on login. 
https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/widget-messaging/web/authentication/

Zendesk then ties the incoming chat with this user based on the external id.

Guys, do you have a roadmap or timeline on when we can expect this functionality to become generally available?
