Zendesk Support – Azure DevOps Integration

Data Types: Work Items / Tickets

Zendesk Support (Tickets) → Azure DevOps (Work Items)

Zendesk Support (Requests) → Azure DevOps (Work Items)

Zendesk Support - Azure DevOps Use Case

The helpdesk team receives a new incident in their Zendesk Support queue. They investigate the issue and find out that the problem comes from a software bug, i.e. the DevOps team should take over.

Thanks to ZigiOps, they don’t need to open Azure DevOps and create a ticket for the bug manually. The integration platform creates it automatically and performs poller-based updates, if there are any changes, which guarantees a smooth application lifecycle management (ALM) and no data silos.

The communication between the helpdesk team and the developer, the bug is assigned to, is extremely easy, as it doesn’t require any additional tools. Everything happens in the comments. All log files, traces, and all other attachments sync automatically, too. This helps streamline defect tracking and resolution, and it also improves change request management.

Once the developer fixes the issue, ZigiOps updates the Zendesk incident instantly. The end customer receives a notification that you’ve resolved their issue—faster than ever before.

Challenges for Azure DevOps and Zendesk Support users

Zendesk Support is a popular help desk and customer support application, that many companies use to manage incoming customer queries. It allows you to handle tickets and requests. Development teams use project management tools, such as Azure DevOps, to resolve queries that the customer support team sends them.

The customer support and development teams often work in sync to solve common issues, which need to be addressed quickly to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction. Efficient cross-team collaboration is key in keeping response and resolution times low. To achieve and maintain the alignment of your teams, you need a seamless end-to-end data exchange between the different enterprise applications.

Keeping your teams in sync is crucial for the success of your business, and one of the best ways to achieve that is through a data integration platform.
