Spike's Zendesk integration helps with automatic ticket creation to syncing statuses and notes in real-time, this integration bridges the gap between incident response and customer support.
Bi-directional Sync: Sync incident statuses and notes between Spike and Zendesk in real time.
Ticket Creation: Automatically or manually create Zendesk tickets from Spike using Playbooks.
Link Existing Incidents: Link existing Spike incidents to tickets on Zendesk.
Connecting Zendesk and Spike requires two setups: the API connection enables creating incidents from Spike to Zendesk, while the Spike app allows creating incidents from Zendesk to Spike with real-time syncing of statuses and notes.
Install the Spike app from the Zendesk Marketplace for enhanced functionality, including:
Creating incidents or linking existing ones directly from Zendesk.
Syncing notes and statuses in real time.
Allowing Zendesk users (who aren’t Spike users) to trigger incidents.
Steps to Set Up:
Install the Spike app from Zendesk Marketplace
Generate and copy a new API token from the Spike dashboard
Follow the instructions on Zendesk to connect Spike
This method allows you to send incidents from Spike to Zendesk by connecting with an API token and email.
Steps to Set Up:
Enter your Zendesk API token and Zendesk subdomain.
From the Spike dashboard, users can manually select one or more incidents and create Zendesk support tickets.
Important Notes:
Tickets created from Spike are not synced with statuses or notes.
For full syncing functionality, tickets must be created using the Spike app in Zendesk.
When the Spike app is installed from the Zendesk Marketplace, syncing notes and statuses is automatic and happens in real time. Any updates made on one platform reflect immediately on the other.
Spike’s Playbooks automate ticket creation during incident triggers. Once set up, incident details, timestamps, and other critical data are sent to Zendesk automatically.
