πŸ”Œ The Rootly Plugin for Zendesk

Many of our customers already leverage our popular Zendesk integration for automatic ticket creation and syncing. Now, in addition to the Rootly Zendesk integration, you can bring Rootly right into Zendesk with our new plugin from the Zendesk Marketplace.

Customer support teams play a crucial role in identifying incidents as they emerge and keeping customers informed and reassured throughout the response. These teams work at a fast pace, meaning it’s imperative that they have the information they need to support customers at their fingertips. This is why our new Zendesk plugin is a must-have for Zendesk teams wanting to improve the customer experience during incidents. It brings important incident context to your frontline team with a searchable view of Rootly incidents directly within Zendesk. We've also seen that many teams rely on customer support to report potential incidents that observability and alerting systems don't catch. The Rootly plugin allows users to start an incident from within Zendesk, so emerging problems make it to on-call engineers as quickly as possible.

⏱️ Reduce MTTA (mean time to assemble) with the ability to declare Rootly incidents from within Zendesk.



πŸ”Ž Provide a source of truth regarding incidents for customer support staff with a searchable view of recent and related incidents from Rootly inside Zendesk.



πŸ“Ž Attach tickets to new or existing Rootly incidents for efficient tracking of customer support volume related to incidents.
