App limitations in the Zendesk Agent Workspace
The Zendesk Agent Workspace is a Support feature which allows agents to view and interact in a single ticket interface with multiple Zendesk channels including email, social messaging channels, Talk, and Chat. This feature is enabled in the Support Admin interface. For more information, see About the Zendesk Agent Workspace.
Some apps built on the Zendesk Apps framework have limitations when the Zendesk Agent Workspace is enabled:
- Support apps in the ticket editor location can have limited API functions when the Zendesk Agent Workspace is in “chat” mode. For more information, see the ticket editor API
- The Chat interface in the Zendesk Agent Workspace does not support rich text format. If a Support app posts rich text into the editor during “chat mode”, the text is automatically converted into Markdown to maintain link and text emphasis
- Support apps performing GET requests for
