Zendesk integration

  • Artikel

Viva Goals Zendesk integration lets you link objectives and key results (OKRs) to customer success metrics available in Zendesk for automatic real-time progress updates.

Let's consider this example: You have an objective to increase the customer satisfaction rate this quarter. You can implement a Zendesk integration to save yourself the hassle of going back and forth between Zendesk and Viva Goals to update progress. Viva Goals will sync values for you, saving time and keeping your OKRs current.

How to set up Zendesk integration

  1. Go to the Viva Goals integrations page: Admin > Integrations.

    You can disable the integration at any time from the Change dropdown.

How to use Zendesk integration

Now that the integration is enabled, your team can link a Zendesk metric with an OKR.

  1. When you add or edit an objective or key result, choose to measure success by KPI (success metric).

    Note

    Currently you can only track by KPI, not percentage completed.

  2. Next, select the Connection and then select the Zendesk metric you want to track the progress of the objective by. Viva Goals supports tracking by % resolved tickets, % satisfied response, % dissatisfied response, and number of dissatisfied Responses in Zendesk for the agents in your organization for tickets created between a customizable date range. By default, Viva Goals considers tickets created for all the agents between the start and end time same as the objective's start and end time.

  3. Select Next to finish and save your OKR. You should now see a Zendesk icon next to the OKR. Viva Goals will now automatically track the percent of satisfied response. The OKR syncs automatically every hour. To refresh it manually, select refresh.
