3. Go to the **Insights** section.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25288?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A42%3A32Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A42%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=i6d6Khoml9T6tHqWqZX5z%2FXU1LrwMD9012rviE6Fm9o%3D)
4. Select **Transcript Explorer**.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25287?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A42%3A32Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A42%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=i6d6Khoml9T6tHqWqZX5z%2FXU1LrwMD9012rviE6Fm9o%3D)
5. Use the search bar at the top of the page to find the interaction you need to troubleshoot. You can use identifying information, such as a name, address, email, or case number, to search for any text that includes those.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25291?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A42%3A32Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A42%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=i6d6Khoml9T6tHqWqZX5z%2FXU1LrwMD9012rviE6Fm9o%3D)
6. If the **Channel** column shows that it is using an **8x8 channel**, then the **Contact ID** column will display the conversation ID.
7. You can also find the conversation ID by selecting the chat session to view all the individual messages and clicking on the drop-down button underneath any message the contact sent.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25289?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A42%3A32Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A42%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=i6d6Khoml9T6tHqWqZX5z%2FXU1LrwMD9012rviE6Fm9o%3D)
8. If the **Channel** column displays it is using a **Webchat channel**, or any channel other than 8x8, then the Contact ID column will **NOT** be the same as the conversation ID.
9. To find the conversation ID, you must view all the individual messages by selecting the chat session.
10. Scroll down to the bottom of the chat.
11. There will be a response in the last few messages indicating that the **Message did not contain text content**.
12. Click on the drop down button underneath this message to view the conversation ID.![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/e3a59e39-abd3-4423-964c-0a4008dc5673/Images/Documentation/25290?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-03T23%3A42%3A32Z&se=2026-11-04T00%3A42%3A32Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=i6d6Khoml9T6tHqWqZX5z%2FXU1LrwMD9012rviE6Fm9o%3D)

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> If a conversation using the Webchat channel does not contain this message with a drop-down and a conversation ID, then the chat session did not handover to 8x8.
