How to Remove Sensitive Data from Chats

Depending on the type of services that your contact center provides, incoming chat interactions may contain sensitive data or attachments that people not familiar with Internet security risks can include in their messages. Examples of such data include payment card numbers, access codes, and clients’ personal health information.

Handling of such data may be governed by various laws, industry security standards, as well as internal policies of your organization. You may be expected to identify such data and make sure it is masked before the interaction is further processed and stored.


Info.40x40.png Masking and unmasking require the Mask interaction content privilege.


Remove Attachments and Text in an Active Chat

To remove attachments and text in active chats do one of the following:

  • Highlight attachment or text and choose the Mask option in the context menu.
  • The file name of the attachment replaces the attachment, and the attachment isn't visible.
  • Click the eye icon next to the video, audio, or image if the eye icon is available.
  • Masked text is replaced with asterisks.

The Mask option appears in a context menu when text is highlighted in a chat.

Asterisks replace masked text.

The eye icon appears next to an image in chat.

Clicking the eye icon removes an image from chat.


Info.40x40.png You may unmask and remask attachments during the interaction. After the interaction concludes, only the file name of a masked attachment will be included in the chat transcript.

Remove Attachments and Text in Activity History

  2. Open the Activities tab and click the chat record.
