Integrate Zendesk Chat with Kommunicate Chatbot

As the world of customer service and support evolves, businesses are increasingly adopting a hybrid approach to support delivery, involving both automated systems and human agents. Organizations of all sizes must strike a delicate balance between auto-response systems and live human agents in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Chatbots, on the other hand, are only as good as the conversations they’re programmed to have. And, the more your chatbot anticipates a question or resolves an issue, the better a support rep will be at directing users away from a bot conversation and into a human conversation. As a result, we’re at a loss as to how to improve their chat experience with a bot or even build one from scratch. In this blog post, we’ll go over how Zendesk Chat can help you improve your chatbot experience.

What is Zendesk chat?

Zendesk is an email-based ticketing system that helps businesses in tracking, prioritizing, and resolving support tickets. It can assist you in collecting customer requests submitted through various channels such as email, chat, social media, and chatbots and displaying them as tickets in a single dashboard. And using Zendesk Chat, also known as Zopim, you can instantly answer common questions and assist customers in submitting a ticket if their problem cannot be resolved right away.

Why do you want to integrate Zendesk Chat with Kommunicate?

Integrating Zendesk chat with Kommunicate will improve your team performance by taking advantage of features like:

  • Live chat: Provide instant support to your customers with live chat wherever they visit your website from.
  • Chatbot Builder: Using Kompose build and very own chatbot with no programming expertise
  • Allow your agents to view the chat history and respond to tickets directly from the Zendesk dashboard.

How to integrate Zendesk Chat (Zopim) with Kommunicate?

To set up the Zendesk chatbot, we will need a conversation automation tool for customer support teams, such as Kommunicate, to help them automate repetitive requests and focus on more complex tickets. When you use a tool like Kommunicate, the process becomes much easier. To integrate Zendesk chat with Kommunicate, follow these step-by-step instructions.

Step 1: Retrieve Zendesk credentials

To begin, log in to the Zendesk dashboard and obtain the credentials listed below.

  • Access Token — To obtain the access token, Go to the Zendesk admin centre and select the Zendesk API from the Apps and integrations category on the left panel. Choose an active API token from the list in the section. If you’re creating an API token for the first time, remember to enable and activate it.

Step 2 : Integrate Zendesk chat with Kommunicate

Voila! Start testing the Kommunicate chatbot, and the conversation will appear on the Zendesk chat dashboard once the integration process is complete. Agents can also respond to users directly from zendesk chat.

(PS: If you prefer to add chatbot directly from the Zendesk marketplace you can integrate Zendesk live chat with Kommunicate Chatbot within a minute).
