Keep everything in sync

When a customer texts your number, Textline opens a Zendesk Support ticket and keeps both tools in sync as the conversation continues. The contact's Zendesk details are then automatically added to your Textline Address Book. You can also use Textline natively from Zendesk Support. Initiate and respond to text messages using the top bar widget, channel integration, or ticket sidebar widget. Automatically push incoming texts to your Zendesk Support ticket queue, while continuing to keep them in your conversation list in Textline.

How to install

• Sign in or sign up for a Textline account. (You must have administrator permissions in both Textline and Zendesk Support to set up the integration.)
• In Textline, visit Settings > Tools & Integrations and click the Zendesk Support logo.
• Enter your Zendesk subdomain and click Connect to allow Textline to access your Zendesk Support account.
• Now inbound texts will create and update tickets in Zendesk Support. (Tickets are tagged Textline)
• Click the Install button here in the Zendesk Marketplace to add a top bar Textline widget and a sidebar app that reveals Textline conversations that correspond to the currently visible Zendesk Support ticket.
• If you'd like to use the channel integration instead of the ticket sidebar app, use your Zendesk settings to create a new channel integration account.
