Zendesk

With Zendesk connected, a finished conversation can become a support ticket, so your team picks up where the agent left off.

Connect it

  1. Open your workspace and go to Integrations.
  2. Select the Zendesk card.
  3. Enter your Zendesk subdomain — just the name, the yourcompany part of yourcompany.zendesk.com, not the whole address.
  4. Continue. You are sent to Zendesk to approve access and returned afterwards.

The card then shows the connected subdomain and when the connection was made.

When a ticket is created

You choose the rule, and it applies to every call the agent finishes:

  • Create a ticket for every conversation — nothing is missed, at the cost of more tickets.
  • Only outside business hours — calls your team could not have answered live become tickets. You set the business hours next to this option.
  • Only when the AI can't resolve it — the agent handles what it can, and only the rest reaches your queue.

Start with the last one if you are not sure: it keeps the queue closest to what a person actually needs to act on.
