Integrating Zoho Desk with Microsoft PowerBI - Online Help | Zoho Desk

Integrating Zoho Desk with Microsoft PowerBI

Zoho Desk provides analytics for businesses to monitor and track key support metrics such as agent performance, SLA adherence, ticket lifecycle etc. efficiently. However, in addition to these default metrics, businesses often require advanced insights and parameters to track such as customer sentiment analysis, trend patterns in support requests over time, risk analysis based on support interactions, or automated anomaly detection in customer satisfaction scores. 

Power BI is a Microsoft business intelligence tool that helps in visualizing reports and sharing data insights for easy consumption. It helps in getting advanced insights by cross-platform integration, advanced data modeling, DAX Calculations, and predictive & AI-Driven insights by fetching and analyzing the data from different tools and bringing it in one place to give a holistic understanding.

Integrating MS PowerBI and Zoho Desk allows businesses to:
  1. Fetch data from Zoho Desk and use it to create reports and dashboards. 
  2. Create custom KPIs 

Benefits of using PowerBI

Integrating Zoho Desk with PowerBI will help to achieve the following:
  1. Combine Data from Multiple Sources - If the user wants to combine data sources, users can integrate them together, fetch data, and provide visuals without any dependency issues. 
  2. Enhanced KPI usage - PowerBI builds dashboards and reports that support complex metrics and KPIs using DAX formulas.
  3. Interactive dashboard - Apart from the generic metrics, the users can add map, heat charts, etc for better visualization.
  4. Embed dashboards and reports into other portals, intranets, or apps, and into tools such as teams.
Notes

  1. Only 100,000 records will be pushed per sync.
