Zendesk

Beta

Your social inbox, escalated into Zendesk.

Turn a comment or DM into a Zendesk ticket, assigned to the right agent, with the requester's social handle front and centre.

A handle is not an email. We handle that.

1click

conversation to ticket

From any Sked inbox conversation.

Outbound only

nothing imported

Zendesk tickets do not flow back into Sked.

No duplicates

retries reconcile

The escalation id becomes the ticket's external id.

Triage social like a support queue.

Work comments and DMs the way your support team works tickets: assign, resolve, and when a thread needs the help desk, send it to Zendesk with the transcript attached and the requester named in the subject, assigned to the agent you chose at setup.

The DM arrives as something your team can work.

Tickets that name the requester

Sked surfaces the social handle in the ticket subject and body, so agents know who they are helping without an email address.

Assigned on arrival

Choose a default agent when you connect and escalated tickets land in the right queue.

One escalation, one ticket

The escalation id becomes the ticket's external id, so a retry never creates a second ticket.

One direction: out.

This connection creates Zendesk tickets from Sked conversations. Zendesk tickets do not flow back into Sked.

The ticket your agents actually need.

Subject, a transcript excerpt of the customer conversation, priority mapped to Zendesk's values, your tags and a deep link back to Sked. Social contacts don't come with an email address, so Sked surfaces the customer's handle and display name right in the subject and description; your agents always know who they're talking to.

  • Transcript excerpt, priority and tags included
  • Customer handle surfaced for email-less contacts
  • Internal notes never leave Sked

Dedupe that needs no setup at all.

Zendesk tickets have a built-in external_id, and Sked keys every escalation on it out of the box: retries find their existing ticket instead of opening a duplicate, with no custom field to create. Default assignees come from your own agent list.

  • Built-in external_id dedupe, zero configuration
  • Retries are safe by default
  • Default assignee from your Zendesk agents

Help desk connected. What else?

Zendesk takes the tickets. HubSpot and Salesforce escalate the same way, and the ideas board reads Notion, Asana and RSS.

Common questions

Questions about Zendesk integration.

  • Does this import Zendesk tickets into Sked?

    No. It sends conversations the other way. Escalate a comment or DM from Sked's social inbox and a Zendesk ticket is created for it.

  • Social conversations have no email address. How does Zendesk know who the requester is?

    Sked surfaces the requester's social handle in the ticket subject and body, so your agents can see who they are helping without an email address.

  • Can escalated tickets be assigned automatically?

    Yes. Choose a default agent when you connect and escalated tickets land in the right queue. Each escalation id becomes the ticket's external id, so a retry never creates a second ticket.

  • Do our internal notes go to Zendesk?

    No. Internal notes are stripped before the escalation leaves Sked. The ticket carries the customer conversation, not your team's commentary.

  • Do I need to configure anything in Zendesk?

    No. Sked uses Zendesk's built-in external_id for dedupe, so retried escalations find their existing ticket with zero setup.

  • Can agents see the original conversation?

    Yes. Every ticket carries a deep link back to the conversation in Sked, one click from ticket to thread.
