We’re excited to announce the general availability of Salesforce as a knowledge source. You can now connect Salesforce to your Zendesk account to make the content available wherever external content is used.
This announcement includes the following sections:
What is changing?
You can now connect Salesforce as an external knowledge source to your Zendesk account to make the content available wherever external content is used. This expands the content sources available, enabling access to your existing Salesforce content across your knowledge experiences.
Why is Zendesk making this change?
We’re making it easier to reuse existing knowledge from different sources your organization already uses and leverage it within Zendesk. So now, your AI agents, Copilot, search, and generative search can tap into your Salesforce knowledge.
What do I need to do?
You can create a Salesforce connection on any Zendesk Suite or Knowledge plan. For more information, see the following resources:
- Connecting external knowledge sources to your Zendesk account
- Importing knowledge sources for an advanced AI agent
