Authenticate user automatically before viewing article

I have SSO enabled between my external application and zendesk guide using JWT. Only signed-in users can view the guide. I have a menu item in the app to access the Guide which authenticates the user into zendesk. However if I place a link to an article directly within my application and the user tries to access it, zendesk forces the user to login again. Is there a way to automatically authenticate the user using JWT when an article link is clicked from an external application?

Hello Shri,

Please note that we unfortunately cannot do that.

If they authenticate externally, we cannot send this authentication to the help centre, and they will indeed have to authenticate again because of that.

Have a great day and stay safe!
