What is the Need to Connect GitHub to Zendesk?

As described above, Zendesk is a CRM that receives a lot of change requests that need to be communicated to developers to make the required changes. With the help of Integratecloud, you can automate this process and get Zendesk queries as GitHub issues and make the process fast.  

Integrating GitHub to Zendesk Using Integratecloud

Integratecloud lets you load your Zendesk tickets, user information and other data points of your interest directly in a GitHub as an issue.

Integratecloud is a powerful GitHub integration application for Zendesk. It helps you efficiently transfer GitHub data onto Zendesk for free and coordinates your Zendesk tickets with your GitHub commits and issues. When a Zendesk ticket arrives, and the code needs to be changed to correct the issue, then you will be able to see the required files, right next to the ticket. It makes this easy to look at the past tickets and identify what code was changed to correct the issue, in case further troubleshooting is required in future.

Integratecloud can keep your agents separate from your developers so that you do not need to have Zendesk licenses for your development staff. Create a new GitHub issue related to the Zendesk ticket directly from within Zendesk.
