Why integrate Zendesk Support with CRM?

Even though most businesses use CRM to manage customer interactions as well as marketing and sales processes, not all businesses have the customer data from CRM visible on the desktops of customer service agents.

The automation of important customer transactions and interactions, the improvement of your customer support services, the effective management of marketing efforts, and the provision of quality reporting across all departments are all common areas of integration. These are just a few of the many advantages that can be obtained as a result of integration.

Cloud Zendesk CRM Integration

If you are using a cloud CRM solution or a solution that can communicate via REST API. Good news! The data from the CRM can be accessed directly from a Zendesk app.

Zendesk provides an app that is able to display the required information about the customer. The app communicates with the CRM system via API calls. The returned data is displayed in the app. If, for example, no data record is found in the CRM based on the telephone number/email address, an attachment of the data record in the CRM can also be mapped.

The CRM used should be able to communicate with other systems via REST-API. As a rule, these are almost all cloud CRM systems, but on-premise CRM systems often also have an API available.

OnPremise Zendesk CRM Integration

If you use an on-premise CRM solution or an independent solution for maintaining your customer relationship, then a connection variant looks like this.

Zendesk provides an app in the on-premise setup that can display your individual CRM data.

The app either displays data from Zendesk fields, which are filled using a small middleware (PUSH), or directly via REST API access from the middleware (PULL). Together we will find out what exactly makes sense for you.

As long as the existing system uses a relational database such as MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc., data can be provided for Zendesk using middleware. If direct data access is difficult to implement, pragmatic approaches can also be implemented, e.g. by providing CSV files.

Ways to enhance a Zendesk CRM Integration

A good customer relationship management (CRM) programme should not only help in the process of acquiring new customers, but it should also ensure that each interaction with existing customers is personalised and meaningful, and it should continue to keep this at a high level as the customer relationship develops. A good CRM programme should also help in the process of acquiring new customers, but it should also ensure that each interaction with existing customers is meaningful.

The following are some of the ways in which Zendesk Support can invigorate customer service with an integrated CRM programme: implementing a Chatbot; syncing and prioritising Zendesk tickets; creating workflows; and more.
