Mapping Users

The first thing that you need is to map the users between Nuacom & Zendesk. Here is an example of how you can do that:

Sync Resources

The Nuacom integration has the ability to sync resources between Nuacom & Zendesk. The available resources are Organizations & Users. Below is how they are mapped in each system:

  Nuacom Zendesk
Organizations Organizations Organizations
Users Contacts Users

 

You have the ability to choose which resources you'd like to sync, the syncing direction as long as what will happen if conflicts occur. Here is a brief demonstration:

Automatic Ticketing for Calls

The next options give you the ability to set up the automatic ticketing creation for calls. That comes in handy in cases where you need your reporting of calls and written support to be entirely on Zendesk. To enable this functionality follow the steps below:

Set Ticket Status To

Here you can set a specific ticket status for the ticket that will be created. The available options are:

- New

- Open

- Pending

- Solved

- Closed

Add Tag to the ticket

Here you can add tag(s) in the ticket that will be created. For multiple tags, use comma(,) between them.

Lastly, click on Save Events to save your configurations.


Additional Rules

Now that have setup the automation ticketing creation here are some extra rules that you may need to consider:


You can choose what will happen when an open ticket exists for the number/contact calling & also whether you'd like the ticket that will be created to get assigned to the person that took the call.

 

Finally, you have the option to quickly setup up the creation of tickets for missed calls. To enable that you can do it by clicking on this option without setting up the event listeners:

 

Here is an example of how a ticket that has been created automatically by the event listener will look:

If you add notes/tags later to the call these will be added also to the ticket as a new message. If you make corrections to those tags they will get deleted from the original message and will be added in a new message. Here is an example:

 

Zendesk CTI

If you want to use the CTI functionality of Zendesk you can head here & install the app after you have enabled the integration.

When you install it all users need to log in with their credentials with Zendesk:

 

When you see your extension number then you have logged in successfully.
