Connect chat displays a conversation with the string {conservation.name} and multipe chat entries in the GUI

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

When an admin user tries to send a chat to a non-admin user, we see the string {conservation.name} that copies the conversation multiples times. 

Steps to reproduce

  1. Log in as an affected admin user
  2. In separate browser, impersonate non-admin user
  3. The admin should send message Test to non-admin user
  4. Non-admin User would receive multiples times the same messages with string {conservation.name} 

Another option is to just login as non-admin user, and then navigate to https://<instance>.service-now.com/$collaboration.do#/chat/, refresh the browser, you will see chat entries multiplies 

Observations

The following Javascript error is visible in browser console for non-admin users when opening up the chat window:

========= 

 

Cause

One of the chat groups was having the issue: https://<instancename>.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=live_group_profile.do?sys_id
To be specific, one of the live group member records involved with the chat group record was missing the member value: https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=live_group_member.do?sys_id=
 
The reported issue was occurring for all the members who are part of a chat group. 
 

Resolution

This issue can be resolved by:
  • Adding the missing member in the offending live group member record 
  • Take a backup and delete the offending live group member record
