1-If you are not registered yet, sign up on the platform by clicking here.

2-Inside the platform, click on the menu Sources -> Integrations:

And find Zendesk:

3-Fill the required fields

The required fields are: Name; E-mail; Subdomain; API Token.

Keep in mind that the E-mail needs to be a valid account with admin permissions in Zendesk.

Remember that your Zendesk subdomain can be found in your account URL.

For example, in https://{MY_SUBDOMAIN}.zendesk.com/ - MY_SUBDOMAIN is the value of your subdomain.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Remember to remove ".zendesk.com" from your subdomain when creating the integration.

4-Choose the Start Date

This is the date from which you'd like to import data for Zendesk Support API, in the format YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00Z.

All data generated after this date will be replicated.

5-Check the progress of the integration

If everything works out well, you should be able to see a screen like this:

To check the progress of the data sync, just click on view details

"Running" means that the data is entering on Birdie;

"Finished" means that 100% for this batch.

Done! Now you can see and categorize all of your Zendesk feedback on Birdie.

6-Zendesk Integration - Fields Mapping

Our integration by default brings this collection of fields:
- Set of ticket_field defines the context of the conversation (subject, priority, status, tags, customer ID, etc.)

- Set of ticket_comment_field brings the fields for the collection of comments (email, chat, call, etc) within the ticket (date, user ID, user type, user name, comment)
