Zendesk Integration

AI Chatbot That Integrates with Zendesk

Deploy Converso as your AI first responder. It handles common questions automatically and creates Zendesk tickets for complex issues — with full conversation context included.

What you can do with Converso + Zendesk

The best of both worlds — AI speed for common queries, human expertise for complex ones, with seamless handoff between the two.

Auto-create Zendesk tickets

When Converso can't resolve an issue, it automatically creates a Zendesk ticket with the full conversation transcript attached.

Pass full conversation context

Agents receive the complete chat history, collected customer details, and issue summary — no need to ask the customer to repeat themselves.

AI deflection before ticketing

Converso resolves common queries automatically before they become tickets. Only complex or sensitive issues reach your Zendesk queue.

Tag and categorize tickets

Converso applies Zendesk tags, sets ticket priority, and assigns to the right group based on conversation content — automatically.

CSAT preservation

Converso only deflects questions it can answer accurately. Anything requiring nuance is escalated with full context, protecting your satisfaction scores.

Unified support view

All Converso-assisted and Zendesk-handled conversations are visible in one place. No blind spots in your support operation.

Frequently asked questions

How does Converso create Zendesk tickets?

When Converso determines a question needs human attention, it automatically creates a Zendesk ticket with the full conversation transcript, customer details, and any collected context — so agents don't have to ask questions already answered.

Does Converso work alongside the Zendesk live chat?

Yes. Converso acts as the first responder in your chat widget and escalates to Zendesk agents when needed. The handoff is seamless and includes the full conversation history.

Can I control which questions Converso deflects vs. escalates?

Yes. You can define escalation rules based on keywords, sentiment, customer tier, or topic. Converso follows these rules when deciding whether to answer or create a ticket.

Will my Zendesk CSAT scores be affected?

No. Converso only deflects questions it can answer accurately. Complex or sensitive issues are passed to agents with full context, protecting your CSAT scores.
