App Marketplace

New:

• Sportspot 
  Sportspot is a fully responsive multipurpose Zendesk help center (Guide) theme. The theme is a perfect balance between style and performance. All the elements of the help center are arranged in a way that keeps navigation super easy. The theme comes with a large parallax image at the back of a floating search box in the center of it all. It has a stunning full-screen layout with beautiful blocks and interactive design elements, which generate an airy and elegant feeling to the help center.
• Bilstatistik Lookup by Proventic
  Bilstatistik Lookup by Proventic automatically looks up a Danish number/license plate that's written in a ticket conversation and displays the car and leasing information in the ticket sidebar. The app can even recognize if several number plates are written in the conversation, so you can look them up with just a single click. A search field for manual lookups of both number plate/registration numbers and VIN is available as well. This is a paid-for app that you can use in Support.
• Macro Export
  Macro Export is a simple tool to export your macros, actions, and dynamic content in a CSV file. This means you can export all your macros and any meta-data, including title, description, time created and updated, and actions. You can also export the list of actions for each macro and your dynamic content for each language. Use Macro Export in Support.
• Cavel
  Cavel is an easy to customize Guide theme that has many features, including a strong settings panel. Any user can work with the Cavel settings panel to create a great support center experience, and an attractive, professional-looking help center.
• Loader
  Loader allows you to preview, select, link, and import data into Zendesk without any need for coding or special knowledge. Use Loader in Support to import or update customers, organizations, and tickets. Each object has unique data fields (for example, a ticket usually requires such fields as  Requester, Assignee, Type, and Priority). The full list of fields supported for import is available through the Loader UI.
• Article Recommendations by Contexter
  Article Recommendations by Contexter is an AI-powered, in-app, contextual article recommender for you to use in Support.

• RewordMaster
  RewordMaster is a paid-for app for Support that ensures your customer service agents can effectively communicate with customers in impeccable English, and in a professional manner that reflects your company's voice.

• Language Weaver Translation

The Language Weaver Zendesk plugin for Support allows you to protect your data, accelerate insight, and ignite growth.

Using the plug-in, agents can translate messages from customers and machine translate their own responses into the customer's preferred language.
