Click on Add API client button. Here you'll see a form that you need to fill. Client name and Company parts are for your free texts but since your customers will see that, you might want to choose meaningful words. Redirect URL is provided for you in the first form that appeared in MindBehind, in the overview part. Copy that URL and paste it here.

Paste the client ID that you copied to here. Sub Domain is the first part of the URL before .zendesk.com. As an example, if the URL is https://subdomainishere.zendesk.com/ , you should enter ''subdomainishere'' to the form and click on LOG INTO ZENDESK.

Please note that you need to select "Channel Handover" in Human action.

After you save it, you successfully handover your Zendesk channel :)

Don't forget to add your Zendesk channel as deployment. To add a new deployment please follow these steps:

  1. Go to your assistant's map. Click the "Publish" button which is on the right top corner. 
  2. Click the "Deployments" tab and select "ADD DEPLOYMENT".
  3. Select your Zendesk channel and the assistant version you prefer. Now you can publish :)

 

 

 HOW TO ASSIGN MORE THAN ONE DEPARTMENT:

If you want to hand over to a specific department rather than the one you selected in the “Channels->Update” part, then you should specify the "departmentID" that you want to hand over inside the “Human Action” module in your assistant’s map.

On your assistant page, after you click the “Human Action” then you should click the “Action Parameter” button on the bottom and you can enter the handover department id here as metadata. It should have the key as “zendeskDepartmentID” and the value as the id of your department in Zendesk. If you have any problems getting the id of the department in Zendesk please contact us for help.
