How do I connect Zendesk to Mercateer?

From your Mercateer workspace, open integrations, choose Zendesk, and authorize access to your Zendesk subdomain. Then pick the help center content the agent should learn from and set the rules for when a conversation becomes a Zendesk ticket. There's nothing to install inside Zendesk and no code to write. Most teams connect it and go live the same afternoon.

What is the Zendesk AI customer support integration?

It's a connection between Mercateer's AI agent and your Zendesk account. Mercateer syncs your Zendesk help center so the agent answers from your own content, resolves routine questions in the conversation, and escalates the cases that need a human into Zendesk tickets, with the full thread and a summary attached. You get an AI chatbot grounded in your knowledge without leaving the help desk your team already runs.

What Zendesk data does Mercateer read and write?

Mercateer reads the Zendesk Guide help center articles you select so it can ground answers in your content. When a conversation needs a person, it writes a new Zendesk ticket containing the conversation transcript and a summary, and can add the customer's details so your agents have context. You control which content it syncs and when it creates tickets.

Does the agent answer from my Zendesk help center?

Yes. Mercateer is knowledge-first: it grounds every reply in the Zendesk Guide articles you connect rather than guessing or using scripted decision trees. When you publish or edit an article in Zendesk, the agent keeps its knowledge in sync, so customers always get answers that match your current help center.

How does escalation into Zendesk tickets work?

You define when a conversation should reach a human: by topic, sentiment, or an explicit customer request. When that happens, Mercateer opens a Zendesk ticket with the full conversation and a summary attached and routes it according to your rules, so your agents step in with complete context instead of starting from scratch.

Do I need to replace Zendesk to use Mercateer?

No. Mercateer sits on top of Zendesk rather than replacing it. The agent handles the routine, high-volume questions up front and your team keeps using Zendesk for everything that needs a human. You can run them side by side and let the agent take more off the queue over time.

Is my Zendesk data kept private and secure?

Yes. Your Zendesk knowledge and conversations stay private to your workspace and are only ever used by your own agent, never to train a shared model. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Mercateer is GDPR compliant, with enterprise controls like SSO, audit logs, and role-based permissions available.

What you can do with Zendesk and Mercateer

Pair your Zendesk help center and tickets with an AI agent that resolves questions and hands the rest off cleanly.

Answer from your Zendesk help center

Mercateer syncs your Zendesk Guide articles and grounds every reply in that content, so customers get accurate, on-brand answers drawn straight from the help center you already maintain.

Resolve before a ticket is created

The agent closes routine questions in the conversation instead of opening work. Up to 80% of routine questions auto-resolve, so your Zendesk queue only fills with the cases that truly need a person.

Escalate cleanly into a Zendesk ticket

When a case needs a human, Mercateer creates a Zendesk ticket with the full thread and a summary attached, so your agents pick up with complete context and the customer never repeats themselves.

Stay in sync automatically

Publish or edit an article in Zendesk and Mercateer keeps its knowledge current. No re-uploading content or maintaining a second copy of your docs.

Bring Zendesk knowledge to every channel

Run one agent grounded in your Zendesk help center across your web widget, WhatsApp, Slack, email, and voice, for consistent answers everywhere your customers reach you.

See what to fix in your help center

Analytics surface the questions your Zendesk articles don't cover yet, so you know exactly which knowledge gaps to close to lift resolution week over week.
