Zendesk Integration with Vanilla Forums
How does it work?
The first step is to have the Zendesk Add-on enabled in your Vanilla Forums account and then follow the steps in our integration guide. Once enabled, here is how it works:

The community member’s info will be pre-populated into the ticket, and staff can add any other info needed.
Once ticket is created, an information panel will be displayed (to staff only) under the post.

Please note: Our Zendesk integration uses oAuth, so that means your Zendesk passwords are not stored in Vanilla at any time.
