Zendesk

Category: Help Desk. Connect Zendesk and your widget can open and check support tickets for visitors, right inside the chat.
Integrations are available on the Pro and Business plans. Zendesk shares the Help Desk category with Freshdesk, so only one of the two can be active at a time.

What This Bot Can Do

The bot does exactly these actions, nothing more. “Needs sign-in” means the visitor must be identified first; otherwise the bot gives a safe, neutral answer.
ActionWhat it doesNeeds sign-in
Open a support ticketCreate a ticket with a subject, description, and priority (low, normal, high, or urgent).No
Check a ticket’s statusLook up a ticket’s status and the latest replies from your team, by email or ticket ID.Yes

What It Can’t Do

Zendesk is scoped to the actions above. It does not:
  • Reply to or comment on a ticket
  • Close, resolve, or reassign a ticket
  • Attach files to a ticket

How to Connect

Connecting an integration requires an Editor, Admin, or Owner role, on the Pro or Business plan. See Members & Roles.

Open Integrations

In your workspace dashboard, open your Web Widget → Integrations tab and find Zendesk.

Enter your Zendesk subdomain

Click Connect. A secure popup opens — enter your Zendesk domain (the subdomain in yoursubdomain.zendesk.com) and continue. If Freshdesk is currently active, you’ll be asked to confirm replacing it.

A Zendesk window opens asking to grant access to BestChatBot. Click Allow to authorize. You never type your Zendesk password into BestChatBot.

Once connected, Zendesk’s actions become available right away. You can toggle each capability — Create support ticket and Check ticket status — from the integration panel.

One per Category

Zendesk is in the Help Desk category with Freshdesk. Connecting one disconnects the other, so your bot always has a single, clear tool for help desk.
If you connect Zendesk while Freshdesk is active, Freshdesk is turned off automatically.
