Question
How do I connect my legacy Sell account with an existing Zendesk account if I am not the account owner?
Answer
The account owner of a Zendesk subdomain is the only one who can agree to connect a legacy Sell account to Support. Being the account owner is essential and is mentioned as a prerequisite in this article: Connecting your legacy Sell account to the Zendesk platform. If the account owner does not have a Zendesk Sell license, follow the instructions below.
To provision a Sell license and have the account owner connect the accounts
- Identify the account owner of the Support account using the instructions in this article: Who is the owner of my account?
- Provide the Support account owner with an admin license for Sell, if they do not have one already, see the article: Adding and removing Sell licenses. If you do not have a license available, deactivate an active Sell user for the short time needed to integrate.
- Have the account owner log into Sell and connect the accounts using the instructions in the article: Connecting your legacy Sell account to the Zendesk platform.
- Remove the Sell license from the account owner and reactivate the Sell user.
