Benefits of Integrating Intercom and Zendesk

Benefit 1: Reduced Work Time

Creating tickets in Zendesk based on conversation information from Intercom can feel cumbersome. Especially if you frequently receive requests or questions from customers, the burden can be significant, and you might waste a lot of time. However, by utilizing the automatic integration introduced here, the task of creating tickets becomes unnecessary, leading to a reduction in work time. This allows representatives to focus on other tasks, potentially improving the quality of work. Additionally, automation helps prevent omissions in task additions. As a result, you will be able to manage important information obtained from customers without any omissions.

Benefit 2: Speedy Information Sharing

By implementing the automatic integration discussed in this article, you can also address the following cases.

  • You want to share conversation information from Intercom as feedback from customers with the development team or PdM.
  • However, since Intercom accounts are primarily granted to the customer support team, there may be delays in sharing information with other teams.

With this automatic integration, conversation information is aggregated in Zendesk, allowing employees without Intercom accounts to view conversation information from Zendesk. Since it is added automatically rather than manually, it can be quickly grasped. This allows the development team to promptly respond to service issues, potentially improving customer satisfaction.
