Connect Zendesk

NOTE

Requires Admin permissions.

Connecting your Zendesk data allows you to consolidate your help desk reporting in MBI. This allows you to optimize customer support and monitor help desk performance alongside your revenue.

Connecting your Zendesk data is a simple three-step process:

  1. Open the Zendesk credentials page in MBI
  2. Retrieve your Zendesk API Token
  3. Enter your Zendesk login info and Token in MBI

To complete this process, you need to open two browser windows or tabs - one for MBI, the other for your Zendesk account.

Open the Zendesk credentials page in MBI

  1. Go to the Integrations page under Manage Data > Data Sources > Integrations.
  2. Click Add Integration, located on the right side of the screen.
  3. Click the Zendesk icon. This opens the Zendesk credentials page.

Retrieve your Zendesk API token

  1. In the window/tab where you are logged into your Zendesk account, click the Settings (gear) icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  2. When the Settings menu displays, locate the Channels section. Click API in this section.
  3. In the Token Access section of this page, click the checkbox next to Enabled. A list of Active API Tokens display.
  4. Click Add New Token.
  5. When prompted, enter a label for the token. Adobe recommends using MBI, so you know, at a glance, what application is using the token.
  6. Click Create.
  7. An API token is created. Copy this token; it will be used in the next step.

Enter Zendesk login info and API token into MBI

  1. Enter your Zendesk site prefix and login email in the Zendesk credentials page in MBI.
  2. Enter your API token.
  3. Click Save & Connect. If the connection is successful, a Connection Successful! message displays at the top of the screen.
