Introducing AnswerDash Zendesk Integration for Contextual Customer Self-Service

graph.png

For most online businesses, 80% of the support ticket volume is made up by just 20% of the most frequently asked questions. Employing a contextual self-service strategy on your website allows customers to get answers to their frequent and simple questions right where they have them, and allows your support staff to focus on high-value customer conversations.

AnswerDash is excited to announce our integration with Zendesk Help Center and our new Zendesk App. AnswerDash for Zendesk makes it easy for you to automatically import Q&A from your Help Center articles and quickly turn any Zendesk ticket into AnswerDash contextual self-service Q&A!

With the AnswerDash for Zendesk integration you can:

1. Write AnswerDash Q&A from any ticket within your Zendesk account 

Answer your frequently asked Zendesk tickets one time and publish as AnswerDash Q&A with the AnswerDash App for Zendesk. The question and answer will show in the AnswerDash Q&A tab on your website. When customers have questions they will click the tab and find the answers in the flow of what they are doing and buying! By allowing customers to self-serve in this way, you’ll eliminate repeat tickets so your agents can focus on high touch customers.

Find the AnswerDash app in the Zendesk Marketplace to install within minutes. From within your Zendesk, view any ticket and look for the AnswerDash app in the right column. Type your answers and hit save. Your AnswerDash Q&A will be published without changing windows. Easy as that!

2. "Bring forward" your Zendesk Help Center articles as AnswerDash Q&A with Zendesk Sync

If you’ve spent time writing great content for your knowledge base, it’s time to make it more visible and more relevant. You can easily import your Zendesk Help Center articles into your AnswerDash Q&A tab, so when the tab is activated, the Q&A appears directly on the pages contextually where your customers have questions.
