How to set Phone channel as default

Infos:

  • Used Zammad version 6.5.0-1753964102.4fd737c2.jammy
  • Used Zammad installation type: Source
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Browser + version: Opera GX LVL 7 123.0.5669.76

Expected behavior:

  • Phone channel as default in web chat

Actual behavior:

  • Can’t change note channel to phone channel

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Open any ticket

By default, the Note channel is used for replies, but it’s not practical (because even public notes don’t update SLA triggers). I want to change the channel to Phone so that every new message is created as public phone by default.

I didn’t find this option in the Admin Web UI. Also searched in the documentation or forum posts and only found this
Composer Settings — Zammad Admin Documentation documentation (how to set notes to internal/public)

Maybe you can help me change the default channel through Rails.

You cannot adjust the default article type. It is always note.
