Private notes allow workspace members and admins to send messages within tickets that are only visible to internal team members, not to ticket requesters or external users.

​
Sending Private Notes

​

When composing a message in a ticket, use the split button options:
  • Send: Regular public message
  • Send private: Private message (marked with lock icon)
Only workspace members and admins can send private messages. Guest users cannot access the “Send private” option.

Messages prefixed with :lock: or 🔒 are automatically marked as private: 
:lock: This is a private message
🔒 This message is also private
