If your website has links to your Help Center and the Messenger with the Help Center is installed on the same site, clicking one of those links opens the article inside the Messenger.

To open a specific link normally, in the browser, add the data-customerly-ignore attribute to it. Links with this attribute are ignored by the Messenger and behave like any other link.

<a href="https://help.example.com/en/collections/12345-getting-started" data-customerly-ignore>
  Getting started
</a>

Links without the attribute keep opening inside the Messenger, so you can choose link by link.
