The current Amazon Connect for Zendesk app provides direct access to the Amazon Connect platform right inside your Zendesk Support account. The app generates tickets when new calls are answered or outbound calls are placed, and updates tickets with additional call details at the end of the call.

Through the Amazon Connect for Zendesk app you will be able to:

• Embed a web-based softphone directly in Zendesk Support
• Link caller to a Zendesk Support end-user profile based on the caller’s phone number
• Create new user profiles in Zendesk Support with the phone number of the caller if the user does not exist
• Screen pop events (new Zendesk tabs) for inbound and outbound calls:
• Create a new ticket and display it to an agent
• Open an existing ticket for an agent, if caller already has a support ticket open
• Add a recording to a Zendesk Support ticket with the ability to play/stop recording in Zendesk Support
