Zendesk Integration
Introduction
Integrating Zendesk with Zinrelo can significantly enhance both customer support and loyalty management, offering a seamless and efficient experience for businesses and their customers. By leveraging customer data from Zinrelo, such as loyalty status, purchase history, and preferences, support agents can provide tailored responses and solutions. Additionally, insights from Zinrelo’s loyalty data enable businesses to anticipate customer needs and address potential issues proactively, fostering a more proactive rather than reactive approach to customer service.
Integration Process
Zinrelo would need credentials generated using the Zendesk API token to enable the Zendesk integration.
- Steps to Generate API Token: API tokens are managed in the Admin Center interface at Apps and integrations > APIs > Zendesk API. More details can be found here.
- Steps to Generate Base64 Credentials Using API Token: Follow the steps mentioned in the Zendesk help doc to create credentials: Zendesk API Security and Authentication.
Once the credential is generated, please share it with your account manager at [email protected].
If you encounter difficulties in generating the credential, please share the following details with your account manager, and we will generate it for you:
- API token
- Admin email address
- Zendesk domain URL
How to create API token?
Click on the Settings tab and then on the "Go to Admin Center" hyperlink. This will take you to the Admin Center.
- Navigate to Apps and Integrations > APIs > Zendesk API.
- Enable the Token Access toggle button.
- Click on Add API Token.
- Write the token description (optional), copy the API token, and save it.
Please Note:
Make sure to copy and store this token. The token won't show again after you click Save or leave the page.
