Introduction

Perhaps you are faced with the problem of the CSV file request frequency limit.

To work around this, we use small javascript (bookmarklet) that receives the data via Zendesk API and saves it to a CSV file.

Visit the Round Robin app site to get the script and set it up for yourself. Its open source and free. Enjoy!

How it works

This video shows how it works.

Here's the source code

Following is the script code. Feel free to modify it for your own needs!

javascript:var win=window.open("","","width=600,height=500,scrollbars=yes");var vn=+window.location.href.replace(/(.*filters/)/,""); var w=win.document; w.write("
Export view to CSV file Created by Round Robin App team (@RoundRobinApp)
Save
"); w.write("");var url="/api/v2/views/"+vn+"/execute.json";var l=1;f(url);function ai(a, s, p){for(var i = 0, len = a.length; i < len; i++){if (a[i][p] === s) return i;} return -1;}; function gv(o, r, a){var v=o.rows[r][a]; if (typeof v == "undefined") {v=o.rows[r][a+"_id"];}; if (v !== null) {if(a=="assignee" || a=="requester"){return o.users[ai(o.users, v, "id")].name}; if (a=="group") {return o.groups[ai(o.groups, v, "id")].name};if (a=="organization"){return o.organizations[ai(o.organizations, v, "id")].name};if (a=="via"){return v.channel}; return v;} else {return ""};};function f(u){var xh=new XMLHttpRequest();xh.onreadystatechange=function() {var obj; if(xh.readyState==4&&xh.status==200){obj=JSON.parse(xh.responseText); w.write("

@Alexander Thanks!

Last week we had found and fixed a bug in the code of this script. The double quote character was not escaped in Description field. All who are faced with the issue, please update your bookmarklet.

The fixed script is here.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

The script code with "description" is here.

Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it.

Following is the script code with "description".

javascript:var win=window.open("","","width=600,height=500,scrollbars=yes");var vn=+window.location.href.replace(/(.*filters\/)/,""); var w=win.document; w.write("
Export view to CSV file Created by Round Robin App team (@RoundRobinApp)
Save
"); w.write("");var url="/api/v2/views/"+vn+"/execute.json";var l=1;f(url);function ai(a, s, p){for(var i = 0, len = a.length; i < len; i++){if (a[i][p] === s) return i;} return -1;}; function gv(o, r, a){var v=o.rows[r][a]; if (typeof v == "undefined") {v=o.rows[r][a+"_id"];}; if (v !== null) {if(a=="assignee" || a=="requester"){return o.users[ai(o.users, v, "id")].name}; if (a=="group") {return o.groups[ai(o.groups, v, "id")].name};if (a=="organization"){return o.organizations[ai(o.organizations, v, "id")].name};if (a=="via"){return v.channel}; return v;} else {return ""};};function f(u){var xh=new XMLHttpRequest();xh.onreadystatechange=function() {var obj; if(xh.readyState==4&&xh.status==200){obj=JSON.parse(xh.responseText); w.write("

"); }; for (var i = 0; i < obj.rows.length; i++) {var s=obj.rows[i].ticket.id+","+q+obj.rows[i].ticket.description.replace(/[\r\n]/g," ").replace(/"/g, q1).replace(/\s+/g, " ")+q; for (var j = 0; j < obj.columns.length; j++) {s += ","+q+gv(obj,i,obj.columns[j].id).toString().replace(/[\r\n]/g," ").replace(/"/g, q1).replace(/\s+/g, " ")+q; }; w.write(s+String.fromCharCode(13,10)+"

Hi all,

Seeing the interest of Zendesk community for automatic tickets assignment and agent load balancing, I want to share our solution which solves these tasks.
