Question 1

Why are only_events and exclude_events URL parameters ignored by Zulip Linear, Azure DevOps, Redmine, or RhodeCode webhooks?

Accepted Answer

This is a known bug in Zulip: in these four integrations, the views call `check_send_webhook_message` without passing the event type (`complete_event_type`), so the `only_events`/`exclude_events` filter is never evaluated and every event is posted. The fix (PR #40215) passes the resolved event type as the fifth argument to `check_send_webhook_message` in `zerver/webhooks/linear/view.py`, `azuredevops/view.py`, `redmine/view.py`, and `rhodecode/view.py`, and adds filtering tests. To resolve it, upgrade your Zulip server to a release containing PR #40215, or cherry-pick that commit onto your deployment. Until then, there is no user-side workaround — the URL parameters will silently have no effect for these four integrations.

Question 2

Why does the Zulip desktop app show the wrong account when accessing plan management after logging into a different account in the browser?

Accepted Answer

This bug has been fixed in a subsequent Zulip release. Upgrade your desktop app to the latest version to resolve the issue (fix introduced in PR #28473). If the problem persists, ensure you are logged into the correct organization across both the app and browser.

Question 3

Why do I see 'is a private channel' warning when trying to link a channel in Zulip, even though the subscribers seem correct?

Accepted Answer

This is a known bug (issue #38976) where the banner incorrectly appears when the channel subscriber set differs only by incoming webhook bots. These bots cannot read messages, so they should be ignored. A fix is in progress in PR #38977. Workaround: ensure the linked channel's subscribers (excluding incoming webhook bots) are a subset of the current channel's subscribers, or temporarily remove the bots from the channel.

Question 4

How to jump to the next unread topic or unread DM in Zulip?

Accepted Answer

Use the built-in keyboard shortcuts: press `n` to go to the next unread topic, and press `p` to go to the next unread direct message (DM) conversation. These shortcuts let you quickly read through all unread messages without using the mouse. Zulip has also planned corresponding clickable buttons at the bottom of topic and DM narrows (visible only when unread topics/DM threads exist) to make this workflow accessible to mouse users, but the keyboard shortcuts work today in any Zulip version.
