How to use the Zendesk integration

Start an Instant Meeting

You can see the Zoom meeting options in the sidebar when you click on the Apps button when viewing a ticket.

To initiate an instant Zoom meeting, simply click on the Start a Meeting button. The Zendesk app will add a public reply to all the conversations in the connection, including a link to the Zoom meeting within the conversation. This message can be annotated before being sent to the agent.

In order to join the Zoom meeting, the customer will need to click the link in the conversation once the message has been posted.

Schedule a Meeting

The Zoom meeting schedule dialog will be displayed when you click on the Schedule a Meeting button:

The Topic field in the dialog box will automatically be filled in with the ticket title. It should be noted that the assignee’s time zone is determined by the current date and time of the assignee. The requester’s time zone is the most appropriate date/time to use in the requester’s request.

Save the meeting to let the group know it has been scheduled and post a summary message containing the join URL and a public reply to the discussion. After you have submitted the reply, make sure you have edited the message.

Meeting Summary

A private conversation entry will be sent to the agent after the meeting has ended containing a summary of the meeting which includes the meeting topic, start and end times, duration in minutes, and listed parties involved.

Meeting Cloud Recording

The Zoom app will send a notification to the Zendesk conversation when the meeting ends, which will include the links to the cloud recordings if more than one person is attending the meeting. If one or more cloud recordings are made during the meeting, then the Zoom app will send a notification with the links when the meeting has finished.

By clicking on the links under the cloud recordings, you can view the recordings online or download them without having to sign into Zoom.
