Three great reasons to send Zendesk ticket data to Heap:Get a more complete view of your user engagement across support, product, and documentation websites. Create reports that let you see how effectively your self-service resources deflect support tickets Analyze which users are likely to generate certain types of tickets and take preemptive actions to address them.The setup for this is really easy and should only take a few minutes.Login to your Zendesk Support instance Click the grid icon in the top right corner, click Admin Center In the left menu, under Apps and integrations, click Webhooks Click Actions > Create Webhooks Define the Webhook settings Name - Any unique name to organize for future reference Endpoint URL - You can get the endpoint URL from the Track documentation on the Heap Developer documentation.
