Integrating Zoho Desk with Zoho Mail


Zoho Mail is a secure, user-friendly email solution provider for organizations of all sizes while Zoho Desk is an omnichannel ticketing software that efficiently handles customer support operations. Customer inquiries are received through multiple communication channels, such as emails, phone calls, chats, and forums, which are consolidated and managed within a single platform.

Integrating Zoho Mail with Zoho Desk enables organizations to deliver consistent and efficient customer support. Each customer support email created through Mail will be logged as a ticket in Desk automatically through this integration. With the support of automation rules, tickets can be assigned to agents. They can also be notified to ensure prompt action. This allows for improved response and resolution rates. It streamlines the support process and ensures that they are addressed promptly, leading to improved customer satisfaction.

Integration of the two platforms also eliminates the need for agents to switch between the applications, reducing chances of any inadvertent handling errors and maintaining work efficiency.

The integration brings with it some key features that are useful for a business:
  1.  Automatic ticket creation: Customer inquiries sent through Zoho Mail will be added as a ticket in Desk automatically. Agents don't have to create tickets manually, reducing slippages.

  1.  Easy access to information:  The two way-sync allows agents to access ticket details and contact details from both Zoho Mail and Desk. They can add comments, track ticket history, and perform more actions without having to juggle between the platforms.

  1.  Instant ticket assignment: With the assignment rule configured in the Desk account, all customer emails will be logged as tickets in the Tickets module and be assigned to the agents automatically.  


The integration is carried out from the Zoho Mail interface. Upon successful integration, emails sent by customers will be created as tickets, which can be accessed by agents from the Tickets module based on their access permissions.
