Are you facing the following challenges with the apps and software developed and provided by your company?
You want to provide quick follow-up to customer requests and inquiries.
You want to facilitate smooth communication between the support team and the development team.
You want to eliminate the hassle of reflecting information across multiple apps.
In this article, we introduce a method to automatically create GitHub Issues based on Zendesk ticket information to help solve these challenges. By integrating these two apps to achieve this automation, manual transcription work becomes unnecessary, and you can expect a quick response to customer requests. Why not aim to improve the efficiency of information sharing between the support team and the development team through integration using Yoom?
Benefits of Integrating Zendesk and GitHub
1: Efficient Task Management
By automatically converting tickets in Zendesk into GitHub Issues, manual transcription work is eliminated, and information sharing between the support team and the development team becomes smooth. When the support team registers customer inquiries and requests in Zendesk, the development team can immediately grasp the content on GitHub, enabling a quick response. Especially when dealing with many customers or when detailed customization is required for each customer, the benefits of this automation will increase as it becomes necessary to check and respond to many issues and requests simultaneously.
2: Reduction of Errors
Manual information transcription is prone to human error, but automation can reduce the risk of incorrect entries or omissions. By ensuring that information is correctly conveyed from the support team to the development team, smooth problem-solving can be expected. For example, when a critical bug report is accurately communicated to the development team, a quick fix becomes possible. This can lead to improved customer satisfaction. Additionally, even when the amount of information is large or the content is complex, if the time spent checking and correcting transcription errors can be reduced, the work time can be significantly shortened.

Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry.
The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs.
We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom...
I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
