Zendesk is a customer service platform that enables teams to manage customer support and interactions, with ticketing systems, live chat, and knowledge base management.
Connect Bento with Zendesk to allow users to submit support tickets and chat live, all from the Resource Center in the Bento sidebar. This way you won't overwhelm your users with many different widgets on the same page.
Our Zendesk integration is a premium integration, please contact us to get started.
