Post on the wallnoWhen a client writes on the community wall, a post is created automatically. The post, while there are no comments in it, does not get into Usedesk
Comments on postsyesTogether with the comments, the name of the post is pulled up, and the ticket will contain a button "Go to post." In Usedesk, a ticket is created not for each client's comment but a post with all its contents. From the Usedesk, you can reply to the client or leave a comment or highlight the comment with the button "No response required."
Correspondence from discussionsyesIf you are in correspondence from group discussions, then all correspondence will be brought up to Usedesk. But the answer from Useвesk will not work (VK restrictions).
So we added the ability to quickly open the desired discussion and pulled your answers on behalf of the group into the system. The ticket will be marked as "Discussion"

Audio messages
yesSending audio files and .mp3 (due to VK policy) is not supported, but you can, for example, send .wav
Video messagesyes
Video upload is available if:

- you upload it as a file;

- the group is not closed.

If you attach a video message as a comment to a post, Usedesk will open it.

If you attach a video message to a private message, then the video cannot be viewed via a direct link from Usedesk, even if the user's profile is open.

For the link to the video message to be working, you must first upload the video to yourself in the video, then add it to the correspondence from the list of downloaded ones (VK restrictions)
