Agent for Zendesk is an integration of the CXone agent application into the Zendesk customer service platform. This integration allows you to launch the agent interface that you use to handle contacts directly within Zendesk, making the experience easy and seamless by avoiding the need to jump between the platform and the agent application. Part of the seamless experience includes features like contact info linking between the Zendesk platform and the agent application, meaning that customer data can be popped in when starting a contact interaction, and likewise, notes and other information entered in the agent application will also exist with the contact's information in Zendesk. You can log in to the agent application by dropping-down the interface from your Zendesk toolbar near your profile:
A few key features of the agent integration are:
- CRM screen pops
- Call dispositions
Result assigned by the agent or system at the end of a voice (disposition) or digital (status) interaction. - Calendar module
- Click to dial
Additionally, you may need to access the CXone Console to manage certain features, such as details of your profile. You can access the console via browser at console-crm.niceincontact.com. The console is mainly an administrative portal, therefore your access may be limited.
