What we confirmed about the Zendesk connection

  • A restricted agent's connection sees only the tickets that agent could see in Zendesk.
  • Some list views can take a short time to show newly changed or archived tickets, so urgent workflows use the appropriate route.
  • Large user imports are not available by default and need Zendesk to turn them on.

Day to day

Use Zendesk without jumping between systems.

Zendesk stays in place as the software your team already uses. Your team asks in Teams, Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT, and Horizon answers with only the approved records that request needs.

We connect one workflow first, prove it with your team on real review steps, then expand.

Common questions

Using Horizon with Zendesk, answered.

What could our team ask Horizon to do with Zendesk?
Find the right approved ticket context, explain what is waiting and prepare replies or updates for review. Typical results include an urgent-ticket action list, an organisation support brief and draft, and a ticket update ready to approve.
Can our team use Zendesk from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved Zendesk information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use Zendesk with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around Zendesk and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in Zendesk, not just answer questions?
Yes, where Zendesk supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in Zendesk?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, show me urgent tickets with no recent agent response and group them by issue. The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
A Zendesk administrator approves the connection. Ticket visibility and actions follow the authorised role, brands and groups.
Does Horizon replace Zendesk?
No. Zendesk remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the Zendesk workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
The audit costs nothing
