Make automatic URL messages clickable in live chat (agent view)

Hello,

  1. What is your original issue/pain point you want to solve?
    When a URL appears automatically in the live chat conversation (agent
    side), it’s plain text instead of a clickable link. Agents have to
    copy-paste it manually to open it.

  2. Which are one or two concrete situations where this problem hurts
    the most?

  • The customer is already impatient during the live chat, and the time
    lost copy-pasting the link makes it worse.
  • The agent needs to quickly check the product or order the customer is
    referring to, to answer faster.
  1. Why is it not solvable with the Zammad standard?
    Confirmed in this forum (thread: “Live chat: URL not clickable for
    agents”) that there is currently no setting to change this behavior.

  2. What is your expectation/what do you want to achieve?
    Have these automatically-inserted URLs rendered as clickable links
    (like in ticket replies), so agents can open them directly.

Your Zammad environment:

  • Average concurrent agent count: 3 (not 100% sure of the exact peak)
  • Average tickets a day: a few dozen live chats per day across the team
  • What roles/people are involved: SAV agents

Thank you
Dan
