Automation triggers

Ticket created

When a new Zendesk ticket arrives, Verabase checks your knowledge base and suggests an AI-drafted response to the assigned agent.

Ticket status changed

When a ticket moves to Pending or Solved, Verabase can trigger follow-up automations like sending a satisfaction survey link.

Organization created

When a new organization is added in Zendesk, Verabase makes the organization data available to all AI agents for context.

Setup guide

Estimated setup time: ~7 minutes. Prerequisites: Zendesk Suite Team plan or higher. Admin access required for API token generation and webhook setup.

Create an API token in Zendesk

In Zendesk Admin Center, go to Apps and integrations → APIs → Zendesk API. Enable Token Access, then click Add API token. Copy the generated token.

Note your Zendesk subdomain

Your Zendesk subdomain is the part before .zendesk.com in your URL (e.g. if your URL is acme.zendesk.com, your subdomain is acme).

Add Zendesk in Verabase

In Verabase, go to Settings → Integrations → Add Zendesk. Enter your subdomain, admin email, and the API token you just generated.

Select ticket views to sync

Choose which Zendesk views or groups should be accessible. You can limit AI agent access to specific ticket categories or support tiers.

Enable webhook notifications

Verabase creates an HTTP target and trigger in Zendesk for real-time ticket updates. Approve the webhook when prompted in Zendesk Admin Center.

Use cases

AI-assisted ticket resolution

When a Zendesk agent opens a ticket, a Verabase side panel shows the most relevant knowledge base articles and an AI-drafted response. The agent can review, edit, and send it — cutting average response time in half.

Deflection before ticket creation

Embed the Verabase widget on your Zendesk Help Center. When a customer starts typing a question, the AI suggests answers from your knowledge base before they submit a ticket.

Ticket pattern analysis

Verabase analyzes incoming Zendesk tickets to identify recurring questions that don't have knowledge base articles. These appear as knowledge gaps in your dashboard, with AI-drafted articles ready for approval.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace the Zendesk AI add-on?

Verabase complements Zendesk rather than replacing it. You keep your Zendesk workflow and gain Verabase's self-healing knowledge loop, visual RAG, and BYOK model on top.

Can I use this with Zendesk Guide (Help Center)?

Yes. Verabase can read your existing Zendesk Guide articles as a knowledge source, and you can embed the Verabase widget on your Help Center pages.

What authentication method is used?

Verabase uses API token authentication (email + token). OAuth is also supported for organizations with stricter security requirements.
