1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Ticket Management Automation

To start automating customer support ticket management, first access Pabbly Connect. Sign in to your account or create a new one if you’re a first-time user. After logging in, you’ll be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can manage workflows.

Once on the dashboard, you can begin creating workflows. Click on the button to create a new workflow and enter a name for your automation. Select a folder for organization, and then click on create to start setting up your automation.

2. Integrating Zendesk with Microsoft Excel Using Pabbly Connect

The first automation we will create involves integrating Zendesk with Microsoft Excel. This process allows new Zendesk tickets to be automatically recorded in your Excel workbook. In Pabbly Connect, select Zendesk as the trigger application and choose ‘New Ticket’ as the trigger event.

• Set up the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect to connect Zendesk.
• Map the data fields from Zendesk to your Excel workbook, including ticket title, group name, and description.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the integration.

Once the integration is confirmed, every new ticket created in Zendesk will automatically generate a corresponding record in your Microsoft Excel workbook, streamlining your ticket management process.

3. Updating Google Sheets with Freshdesk Ticket Status via Pabbly Connect

Next, we will set up an automation to update Google Sheets whenever the status of a Freshdesk ticket changes. This ensures that your Google Sheets always reflect the latest ticket statuses. Start by selecting Freshdesk as the trigger application and ‘Update Ticket’ as the trigger event in Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to look up the corresponding Google Sheets row using the ticket ID. This step is crucial for ensuring that the correct ticket status is updated. Once the lookup is complete, proceed to update the row in Google Sheets with the new ticket status.

• Select the specific Google Sheets document and worksheet to update.
• Map the relevant fields from Freshdesk to Google Sheets, including ticket ID and status.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration.

With this automation, any updates in Freshdesk will be reflected in your Google Sheets, allowing for better tracking of ticket statuses.

4. Receiving WhatsApp Notifications for New Zoho Desk Tickets via Pabbly Connect

This automation sends WhatsApp notifications whenever a new ticket is created in Zoho Desk. Begin by selecting Zoho Desk as the trigger application and ‘New Ticket’ as the trigger event in Pabbly Connect.

After configuring the trigger, set up the action to send a WhatsApp message. You’ll need to select the WhatsApp application and choose ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message’ as the action event. Fill in the required details such as the recipient’s phone number and the template code name.

Ensure that you have created a WhatsApp message template in advance. Map the ticket details into the message body variables. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the notification setup.

Now, every time a new ticket is created in Zoho Desk, you will receive an immediate WhatsApp notification, enhancing your responsiveness to customer inquiries.

5. Creating Zoho Desk Tickets from Webhook Responses Using Pabbly Connect

The final automation involves creating Zoho Desk tickets from webhook responses. Start by selecting ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the trigger application and ‘Catch Webhook’ as the action event. This setup allows you to connect any application that is not directly integrated with Pabbly Connect.

Once the webhook is configured, you can set up an action to create a ticket in Zoho Desk. Choose Zoho Desk as the action application and select ‘Create New Ticket’ as the action event. Fill in the required fields such as subject, requester name, and ticket description.

Map the data from the webhook response to the corresponding fields in Zoho Desk. Select the appropriate department and priority for the ticket. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the ticket.

This automation ensures that any inquiries submitted through your webhook are promptly turned into tickets in Zoho Desk, improving your customer support efficiency.
