How to use it
The integration’s functionality helps your team to attach tickets to leads and track them within the CRM’s interface. The ticket is associated with the email address of the contact attached to the lead.
To interact with the widget, open any lead card on your Kommo account and click on the Zendesk icon in the top right corner.
If there is no ticket yet, you can create it manually by pressing Create new ticket. Pressing this link will take you straight to Zendesk’s ticket creation.
If there is a ticket(s) associated with this contact, you will see it in the widget in a list form. The interface shows the date of the ticket creation, current status and the ticket number, as well as the link to it.
