Today, we'll learn how to integrate a smart AI agent with the Zendesk email ecosystem to enhance your customer support operations.

Training the Bot: Add links for the bot to train itself and test its responses.

Deploying the Bot: Deploy the bot on various platforms (Slack, Discord, Zendesk).some text
Integrate with Zendesk by providing the subdomain (more) and account ID (more).
Set featuressome text
Choose reply typessome text
Internal comments: Internal comments will just be visible to your human agents and, the AI agent will draft a response, and then Human agents can essentially copy paste it in response.
Direct replies: AI agent directly replies back, to the user query, automating it end to end
Set time delays
Enable PII masking: Information masking in case a user shares some confidential information such as account number, phone number, insurance id etc.
Assign Tickets to Fini: This records the ticket information on Fini’s internal system, allowing you to leverage the analytics insights powered by Fini.
Enable Category: In case you have pre-made categorization rules in your Zendesk account, it essentially pulls those and it makes sure to categorize the tickets in the way that it's intended

Zendesk Configuration:some text
Create Webhooks: A webhook sends an HTTP request to a specified URL in response to activity in Zendesk Support. For example, you can configure a webhook to send requests when a new ticket is created. Learn more here.
Set triggers: Define rules for when and how your AI agent should engage as per business’s needs. Learn more here
At this point, everything is set, and the next step is for us to see how it'll operate live.
Real-World Testing
We tested out 2 examples
Example 1: Email about amn Airbnb property inquiry. The AI agent categorizes the ticket and drafts a response.

Example 2 (Internal Comments): Urgent query about an Airbnb cancellation. AI agent provides empathetic and actionable template message to the human agent, ensuring they can act on tickets faster.

Voila! Our AI Agent is set to help you take your customer support operations to next level
