Configuring Your Zendesk Integration
In the Settings section, you can Enable or Disable the integration as you see fit or enable the split message option from the checkbox. You can use it to avoid unnecessary signatures that add additional characters to your SMS. Just type the beginning of the phrase you wish to exclude, and SMS & Email will remove it.
Go ahead and test the integration to see if everything is running smoothly! Create your first test ticket and simulate a conversation.
Using Zendesk with Email Flows
To set up your Zendesk support email as a reply email, access the Admin Center in your Zendesk account and navigate to Channels > Talk and Email > Email. Copy your Zendesk support email and paste it into your Yotpo SMS & Email settings as a reply-to option for your customers when sending email messages. In the email action step of a flow, select your Zendesk email as the reply-to address. This ensures that any customer replies are sent directly to your Zendesk account, keeping your communication streamlined and efficient.
