By Leah Kidd

Last updated May 4, 2022

Get excited! With September comes the start of fall, which means a range of new app integrations. Track feedback, trends, and growth more efficiently with apps like Ybug, DirectCall, and ScopeAI, just to name a few.

Meetingbird

Meetingbird allows you to schedule meetings and manage your calendar right from within Zendesk Support. Its intuitive design and deep integrations with Google Calendar, Office 365, Zoom, and Zapier make scheduling a snap. With Meetingbird’s scheduling links, agents can cut down on back and forth emailing and schedule support calls and demos with customers faster. Potential meeting times can even be inserted directly into ticket replies, so customers can book meetings with a single click. And with Meetingbird’s full featured calendar, support agents can manage their schedules and create events right from their Zendesk Support account.

Ybug

Ybug is a visual feedback and bug tracking tool for your website. Collect visual feedback, suggestions and bug reports from your team or clients as tickets for your Zendesk Support team. Ybug gives you information you need to fix the bug, including things like a visual snapshot of the page, browser environment info and Javascript console output so that your agents have all the information they need to quickly identify the issue being reported.

Octoboard

Octoboard is an easy-to-use tool for building live business performance dashboards to display on screens around your office and on desktop monitors. Octoboard displays your key business data in easy-to-understand reports that can be generated automatically and shared with your Support and DevOps team. Octoboard will collect data and will keep updating metrics for your Zendesk Support account and visualises current customer satisfaction score, ticket and call volumes, response times and other metrics.

Additional apps added in September:
