Set up AI ticketing in Zendesk with API credentials, template import, and testing steps.
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):
Open your Zendesk Admin Panel.
Click on Apps and Integrations > APIs > Zendisk API.
Enabled Token access in Zendesk API, Now click on Add API token
Write a description, copy the API Token, and save it.
ZENDESK_SUBDOMAIN – This is the first part (subdomain) of your Zendesk URL. For example, if your Zendesk URL is https://aicme666.zendesk.com, then aicme666 is your subdomain.
