Integration

Streamline field service operations with the Zoho FSM extension

The Zoho FSM extension integrates field service management with Zoho Desk. For example, if a ticket requires on-site service, the extension allows the support agent to convert the ticket into a work order within Zoho FSM, assign the task based on resource availability, and track service history. This integration streamlines field operations and enhances the coordination between support and field service teams.

Integration of Zoho Desk with Qntrl for seamless task management


Integrating Qntrl with Zoho Desk allows the customers and the agents to plan and track their tasks and requests at ease. When a customer raises a request, it often involves input from multiple teams to achieve the best resolution. This integration streamlines project planning and enhances cross-team collaboration. Agents with Desk and Qntrl access can monitor task progress, gaining clear insights into its status. If there is a critical deadline and there is a delay in one of the tasks, the agents can prioritize the task accordingly and either prioritize it for completion or promptly communicate the delay.


For example, if a travel request is raised, the support agent can create a Qntrl card and link it to the ticket for the operations team to work on this in Qntrl. Any updates made in Qntrl will be immediately reflected in Desk to give agents visibility into the tasks.

Manage API usage with custom alerts


API usage alerts allow users to set thresholds and receive notifications when API usage approaches these limits. For example, if a company is approaching the threshold of 1,000 API calls per day, they will receive an alert as a precautionary measure to avoid disruptions in service. Users can customize their alert settings by specifying a percentage threshold (between 50-100%) at which they would like to receive these notifications.

                                                  KBase articles are known to help customers, find solutions to problems on their own and set the stage for ticket deflection. That said, the way you present your KBase content is the clinching factor that ensures your customers stick around to consume it.  We took it upon ourselves to build an editor that allows you to publish articles without delving into the code. Well, at least for the most part. With more options and a redefined interface, the article editor in Zoho Desk is now better than ever!
