How to Integrate Jotform with Zendesk

Zendesk is CRM software that helps businesses build better customer relationships. With Jotform’s free Zendesk integration, you can automatically turn form submissions into new tickets in Zendesk – perfect for tackling support requests, orders, or customer feedback with your team.

Use this integration to:

• Collect customer requests, orders, and more through your website
• Turn form submissions into Zendesk support tickets
• Work with your team to process requests

1. In the Form Builder, go to the Settings tab.
2. Click Integrations on the left side.
3. Search Zendesk and click it.

4. Enter your Zendesk subdomain.
5. Click the Authenticate button to connect and link your Zendesk account. If you’ve already linked it before, you can see a dropdown and select the account from there.

6. Next, set up the following options as shown in the below image:
   • Add ticket subject — You can select form fields in this box or type in a custom subject line.
   • Add ticket description — Select the appropriate field for the ticket description – for example, the Long Text Entry element.
   • Match your Zendesk fields to your Jotform fields — By default, Jotform matches the name and email fields, but you can also add and select your Zendesk’s native and custom fields.
   • Choose a group — If you have a group that handles your form submissions, you can select it from this dropdown.
   • Choose tags — If you have a specific workflow to follow, you can also set up Tags in the integration. You can select from your existing tags or type them.

• Status — The predefined options are Open, Pending, and Solved. If you don’t choose one of them, the default will be New.
• Type — The predefined options are Question, Incident, Problem, and Task.
• Priority — You can select Low, Normal, High, and Urgent.
