Zendesk

Your app creates Zendesk tickets from its forms, shows open tickets to your team and can reuse your help center articles, with an API token.

  • Create tickets
  • Read and search tickets

  • Test the token by reading your agent profile

  • Subdomain (ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN, public value: it may appear in the site’s code) : Your Zendesk subdomain: the part before .zendesk.com (e.g. “my-company” for my-company.zendesk.com). Where to find it
  • Agent email (ZENDESK_EMAIL, public value: it may appear in the site’s code) : The email address of the Zendesk agent who owns the API token. Where to find it

  1. Mention it in your request (the + menu of the input → Connectors, or type @), for example: “Add a contact form with @Zendesk”.
  2. The agent adds the app server if needed, writes the code and asks you for missing values with a card in the chat.
  3. You can also save it once on the Highwind Connectors page: the connection then links to any project in one click. Technical id: zendesk.
