Zendesk Chat APIs for external chat integration
Posted Feb 24, 2021
Dear Experts,
Do we have any Zendesk Chat APIs which can be used for integrating 3rd party chat application with Zendesk Chat agents? I do see there are websdk (JS), iOS and Android SDK but there aren't any REST APIs for integrating same.
If not, is Smooch (Sunshine) APIs integrated with Zendesk agent natively?
Regards
Deepak

Hello Greg,
We have a customer who have their own chat client with bot. They want to escalate the chat to zendesk agent when bot escalates to live agent. Chat UI remains same (existing) for customer. We want to keep this on server side so all message goes through their existing chat engine.
Thanks,
Deepak

Thanks for that information. To be completely honest, I'm not at all sure how that could work programmatically, but I do know that your best chance of exploring options would be with Sunshine Conversations. I wish that I could provide some more information on this topic, I just don't have any experience or examples of this.

Thank Greg. I have been trying to explore sunshine. Problem is it is difficult to find how to configure sunshine with zendesk. It would be great to get sandbox to try it possible. I don't know if there are any partner engagement team in zendesk who can support us. We can build excellent join offering if we get support.

Hi Deepak! If you would like a sponsored account for dev work, you can follow the instructions in this link to get your Zendesk Support instance sponsored. After that, you can create a Sunshine Conversations account and then send an email to sunshineconversationsar@zendesk.com to request that you have your account sponsored there!
