Automatic Notification When a New Ticket is Created

By using the Zendesk API, you can set up automatic notifications to stakeholders when a new ticket is created.
This will allow the person in charge to quickly grasp new inquiries and start responding to them.


This is a flow that notifies Outlook every time a new ticket is created in Zendesk.

This is a flow that notifies Google Chat every time a new ticket is created in Zendesk.

This is a flow where a notification is sent to Slack every time a new ticket is created in Zendesk.

Automatically Create Tickets Triggered by Other SaaS Events

Information is added automatically, eliminating the need for manual data entry and improving operational efficiency.


■Overview

Add Zendesk Ticket Content to Database

While centrally managing support history and customer information within Zendesk, it becomes possible to utilize advanced integrations with other systems and analytical tools.

Update Zendesk Ticket Status When Task is Completed

Automatically reflecting task completion in Zendesk helps maintain the accuracy of shared information.

Register a Lead When a Ticket is Created in Zendesk

Lead information is quickly shared among teams, enabling timely sales approaches.

Benefits of Integrating Zendesk

1. Leads to Faster Operations

By integrating the app, you can expect quicker response times.
For example, you can send notifications to email or chat tools like Slack triggered by ticket creation events.
In environments where a large number of tickets are generated, this automatic notification can prevent oversights and delays, helping maintain response quality.
Automatic notifications using the Zendesk API will greatly contribute to streamlining the support system.

2. Reduces Manual Work

By integrating the app, information is automatically reflected, and ticket creation and notifications are automated, which should reduce manual tasks.
For instance, if you can create tickets based on tasks or registered information, the time spent on creation and transferring information is expected to decrease.
As a result, it may become possible to respond quickly to each event, reducing the burden on the person in charge.
Automation enables smooth integration between tools and significantly contributes to operational efficiency.

3. Eliminates Information Discrepancies

Automatically reflecting information can reduce the risk of transcription errors and omissions.
For example, every time a new ticket is created, you can add ticket details (customer name, inquiry content, priority, person in charge, etc.) directly to database tools or other management tools.
By obtaining information and synchronizing it with tools, you may be able to accurately maintain the latest information.
This not only improves support efficiency but also aids in trend analysis and idea extraction for business improvement based on inquiry data.
