YouTube for Zoho Desk
YouTube comments are a fantastic engagement point that can tell how your audience feels about your videos. By replying to them—positive or negative—you give your commenters value when they take the time to say something, especially if they're giving you kudos. It's also an excellent way to foster further engagement and grow your community. But switching between too many tools can be counterproductive, causing you actually to lose focus on the task at hand. Keeping track of comment threads across all your videos would get overwhelming quickly.
The YouTube for Zoho Desk extension aims to keep your focus on customers by allowing you to manage YouTube comments inside Zoho Desk. You can create tickets for YouTube videos to track their comments and reply to them just like you would for regular tickets. Your ticket replies get added as replies to the video on the YouTube channel.
Notes:
- The extension is capable of adding 100 YouTube comments to a ticket every 4 minutes.
- The extension can work with only one YouTube channel at a time.
- A video's description will be added as the description of its corresponding ticket.
- Due to technical constraints:
- Video comments will not create individual tickets.
- Replies to video comments will not be nested beneath that of the original poster.
- Mentions will not work and will not actually notify anyone on YouTube.
Key Features
- Send video comments to the relevant team by mapping departments within Zoho Desk to the related videos on a YouTube channel.
- Track all comments of a particular video on a single ticket
- Agents can reply to the comments by adding a reply in Zoho Desk
- Since Zoho Desk connects to YouTube as a ticket channel, you will be able to resolve tickets by taking advantage of Zoho Desk's views, workflows, and macros
