Call from Zendesk,
know who's calling

Allo works right next to Zendesk. Call any number on a ticket or a customer with the Chrome extension, and see your Zendesk customers in Allo when they call.

  • With the Allo Chrome extension, any phone number on the page starts a call in your Allo app. Available on every Allo plan.

  • End users with a phone number come over from Zendesk with their organization, so you see who's calling before you pick up.

What syncs
with Zendesk

Customers come from Zendesk. Every call and text goes back to Zendesk.

From Zendesk

  • End usersName, phones and email, if they have a number
  • OrganizationsName, domain and details

End users sync about every 10 minutes and organizations every hour. A call or text joins the caller's open Allo ticket updated within the last hour, otherwise a new ticket opens. Existing tickets are not imported into Allo.

Logging by hand
vs logging with Allo

Support calls off the record

  • Phone calls that never reach the ticket
  • Agents retyping what was said after the call
  • Texts with customers kept on someone's phone
  • No summary of what a customer actually asked for

With Allo

  • Every call and text as an internal note on the ticket
  • Calls and texts from the same hour on one ticket
  • Summary, transcript and recording on each call
  • The customer is never emailed a call note

Allo is an AI phone system,
not just an integration

The Zendesk sync is one part. Allo is the phone your team calls, texts and gets coached from every day.

Zendesk integration FAQ

An Allo agent picks up and puts you through to sales or support. It is the fastest demo on this page.

888-298-ALLO

In the Allo app, go to Settings > Integrations, find Zendesk and tap Connect. Enter your Zendesk subdomain (the acme in acme.zendesk.com), sign in to Zendesk as an admin and approve access. Your Zendesk customers start syncing right away.

The Zendesk integration is included from the Business plan up. It isn't part of Solo.

On a ticket whose requester is the customer with that phone number, as an internal note. The ticket is tagged allo_call or allo_sms. A call or text joins the customer's open Allo ticket if it was updated within the last hour, otherwise Allo opens a new one.

No, not with Zendesk's default triggers: Allo only writes internal notes, never public replies. If you built your own triggers that email on every ticket, add the condition Tags contains none of allocall allosms to them.

Who called whom, when, the duration, the Allo line and the Allo user, the call tags, the AI summary, a link to the recording and the transcript. A text's note carries the message itself.

The Zendesk agent whose email is the email of the Allo user on the call. If there isn't one, Allo leaves the assignee alone.

Yes. In the integration's settings, pick the Allo lines that create tickets, for example only your support numbers. With no line picked, every line does.

Allo logs a call when the number belongs to a Zendesk end user, as their phone or one of their phone numbers. Check that the customer has that number in Zendesk, that the line is one of your support lines, and that the integration shows as connected in Allo.
