Setting up the Zendesk Sell-Support integration

If you work with both Zendesk Sell and Zendesk Support, you can configure the Sell-Support integration to access support tickets in Sell, and to see Sell data from your Support interface. To learn more about the features of having a Sell-Support integration, see: About integrating Sell and Support for an overview of customer communication in your company.

This article covers the following sections:

• Prerequisites

• Setting up the Sell-Support integration

Prerequisites

You will need the following to set up your integration:

• A Zendesk Sell account on any modern plan level. The account must be a Zendesk account, (see: Migrating your Sell account to Zendesk).
• A Zendesk Support account on a Team plan or above.
• Admin rights in both Sell and Support (see Editing user permissions to grant admin rights to a user in Sell, and Adding an administrator for Support).

Setting up the Sell-Support integration

If you have met the prerequisites, then you can configure your integration between Sell and Support.

To enable the Sell-Support integration

1. In Sell, click the Settings icon (), then go to Integrations > Integrations.
2. Select the Zendesk Support integration, and click Enable.
3. Check that you have the right permissions and that your Sales team can access tickets, then click Next.
4. Click Allow, to permit Sell to have access to your Zendesk Support account.
5. (Optional) To drag the widget to a more prominent position, go to Layouts.

   Congratulations, you have now set up the integration between Zendesk Sell and Zendesk Support and the Zendesk Sell app in Support has been installed.

   To apply any further configurations, go to the Zendesk Support section > Sell app in Support - Installed. There you can configure additional settings. Any changes you make are automatically saved:
   • In Assign Owner, you can select the Sell user that will be assigned all leads that are created in Support.
   • In Assign Status, you can set the lead to be created when it is in one of the following states:
     • New
     • Working
     • Unqualified

     You can allocate the lead to any owner in your organization.

   • In Assign Source, if you have lead sources set up for your account, you can select the lead source that is set when you create a lead from a Support ticket (see Tracking lead sources).
