Bridge Zendesk with Harmony AI for intelligent ticket routing and resolution.

Zendesk is a customer service and support ticketing platform that helps organizations manage customer interactions across multiple channels. Connecting Zendesk to Harmony enables bidirectional ticket synchronization, AI-powered resolution, and seamless migration from traditional support workflows to autonomous IT operations.

## Capabilities

- **Ticket Synchronization**: Sync tickets bidirectionally between Zendesk and Harmony
- **AI-Powered Resolution**: Leverage Harmony's AI to automatically resolve Zendesk tickets
- **SLA Monitoring**: Track and maintain SLA compliance across both platforms

## What Harmony does with Zendesk

Harmony acts as the chat front line while Zendesk stays the system of record, holding the full ticket content. Employees raise and follow requests in Slack or Teams, and tickets sync in both directions with status kept consistent. Harmony can resolve common tickets with AI so agents focus on the rest.

## Data synced

- Tickets, synced bidirectionally between Zendesk and Harmony
- Ticket statuses, with mapping between the two platforms
- Custom fields used for identifier mapping
- Tags standardized across both systems

## Actions available

- Create and update Zendesk tickets from Harmony
- Sync status changes in both directions in near real time
- Resolve common tickets automatically with Harmony AI

## Real-world use cases

**Self-serve in chat**: An employee opens a request in Slack, Harmony creates the Zendesk ticket, and updates flow back to the same thread.

**AI clears the easy ones**: Harmony resolves routine Zendesk tickets on its own, so agents spend time on complex cases.

**Status stays true**: When an agent moves a ticket in Zendesk, the employee sees the change in chat with no follow-up needed.
