How to Download Attachments from the Dialog?

When a client has sent documents, screenshots, or other files in the chat, you can save them to your computer directly from the attachments dialog. The system allows downloading a single file, all files separately, or as an archive (.zip).

When Needed

  • You need to save a document sent by the client for further processing.
  • You need to download multiple files from the dialog as a single archive.
  • You need to export attachments from the ticket for archiving or sharing with colleagues.

What's Important to Know

  • Attachments dialog — shows all files from chat messages and from ticket fields (file type).
  • Three download options: single file, all files separately, or as archive (.zip).
  • Ticket logs — download events are recorded in the ticket change history.
