1. Understanding The Template:

We have one Scenario in the flow named AI_Ticketing_Zendesk.

AI_Ticketing_Zendesk Scenario Contains:

  • Request to Human Event – Triggered when the AI agent/chatbot decides to hand over the conversation to a human agent.
  • Unable to Answer Event – Triggered when the AI agent/chatbot can’t find a suitable response to the user’s query.
  • Talk to human Intent – Triggered when the user specifically asks to speak with a human.

2. Get Your Zendesk Credentials

To connect your app or chatbot to Zendesk, you’ll need these:

  • ZENDESK_USERNAME – The email you use to log into Zendesk (usually your admin email).
  • ZENDESK_TOKEN – An API token that lets your app authenticate and interact with Zendesk.
  • ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN – Subdomain is the first part of your Zendesk URL.

How to Get Your API Token (ZENDESK_TOKEN):

  1. Open your Zendesk Admin Panel.
