Zendesk is a software platform designed to help businesses effectively manage their interactions with customers. It offers ticketing, live chat, knowledge base, and analysis tools to centralize customer requests, automate processes, and gain valuable insights to enhance the customer experience.
The integration of calls into Zendesk allows you to:
- Make/receive calls from the Ringover dialer integrated within the Zendesk window
- Sync your Zendesk contacts with your Ringover address book
- Calls, SMS, and WhatsApp messages appear as tickets (with notes, tags, recordings, and transcription)
- Contextual window for your contacts
- Clickable CRM fields in the Dialer
Prerequisites:
- You must have a Ringover Business or Advanced account to benefit from this integration 💳
- The integration must be performed by an administrative or technical account in Ringover 👨💼
- L'intégration doit se faire avec compte administrateur de Zendesk.
Notes: Zendesk’s “Talk Partner Edition” option is recommended for an optimal Ringover integration: it allows you to be redirected to a user/ticket when a call is answered and improves display of call logs and recordings ⏺️ (voicemail, conversations)
