Zendesk

With our Zendesk integration, tickets can automatically be created in Zendesk from incoming messages to your Sonar number. No additional logins or upgrades to your Zendesk plan. All of your messages and chats will be mirrored in Zendesk as well as Sonar.

Installation

To get started, you will need a Sonar account created.

You will then need to go to Zendesk's App Marketplace and install the Sonar app into your Zendesk account.

Once the Sonar app is installed into your Zendesk account, navigate to Channel Integrations within Zendesk (left side bar under the Channels section).

When you are on the Channel Integrations page, click on the Sonar app. You should now be able to view details about the app, as depicted in the screenshot below.

Near the top of the page, click on Accounts (beside General information), and then click Add Account.

Upon clicking Add Account, you will be asked to add your Sonar credentials to connect your Sonar account to your Zendesk Account.

📘

Sonar Credentials

The token is found in your Sonar account under Settings > Company Settings. Use the Private Token listed in your Sonar account.

After entering your email address and your Sonar token, click Save Zendesk Integration. Your Sonar account is now linked to Zendesk. All messages from here on out that come into your Sonar account will also show up in Zendesk. Agents can reply in Zendesk or Sonar and an SMS will be sent to the customer. Our integration supports live updating, meaning that conversations are mirrored in Zendesk and Sonar.

Dashboard

Our Zendesk integration supports live two-way updating of Sonar conversations and Zendesk Support tickets; any messages sent in Zendesk will reflect in Sonar conversations and any messages sent in Sonar will update accordingly to the Zendesk ticket. All data will be synced across both platforms.

Sonar to Zendesk

SMS messages from your customers will become Zendesk Support tickets. If you decide to reply to a customer from within Sonar, the conversation will be updated within Zendesk too.

Zendesk to Sonar

When replying to a ticket within Zendesk, an SMS will be sent to your customer. You are also able to use any of Zendesk’s power features such as macros and triggers for SMS.

Uninstall

To uninstall the Sonar app, you'll need to remove the app from your Zendesk account. Previous messages will still be available in your Sonar account.
